Facing increasing evidence of military progress in Iraq, some Democratic congressional leaders are eyeing a shift in legislative strategy that would abandon a link between $50 billion in additional war funding sought by President Bush to a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops. Instead, they would tie the measure to political advances by the Iraqi government.
I am not sure if the Congress is filled with idiots or cowards, but they certainly are not filled with the kind of strong leaders that we desperately need in this country.
How can they allow themselves to be manipulated like this again? I mean they must know that the data being provided to them about the surge is being "fixed" to support the policies that the administration wants to continue in that country.
What are these Congressmen afraid of? Do they think that being against a war that has a few successful months is going to keep them from being re-elected? It won't!
This whole country has turned against this war, and they want us out now! So get us the hell out now!
