Despite all the hype and bluster, Democrats have boxed themselves in. They will be the bad guys holding the political bag if military funding remains tangled in fixed dates for reducing troop levels in Iraq. Welcome to a weak majority Ms. Pelosi and Mr. Reid, and there isn't any NDP or Bloc to come to their rescue.

Isn't democracy great?!

and talk about the horrendous hypocrisy of these right wing chickenhawks:

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program. There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"

--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."

--Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)

"The President should also lay out a timetable for how long American troops will be involved and when they will be removed. If a residual force is needed, it is important that over time US troops are withdrawn and our .. allies assume most of the responsibility." - guess who said this

"You can support the troops and not the president." - guess who said this

I invented the internet. Guess who said this.

It wasn't Al Gore - nor does it fit this thread - nor was it much of a come back

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A majority of the U.S. public disapproves of President Bush's decision to veto a war spending bill that called for U.S. troops to leave Iraq in 2008, according to a CNN poll released Tuesday.

The poll found that 54 percent of Americans opposed Bush's May 1 veto, while 44 percent backed the president's decision to kill the $124 billion bill.
