President Bush is holding our troops hostage and threatening them with death. Here is what he is saying to Congress:
"Order me out of Iraq, and I will abandon the troops in the field. The blood of your children will be on your hands, not mine."
Every coffin that comes home shows he means business.
This is the ugly truth Congress wrestles with but will not name. Congress has been terrorized, like any family whose children are kidnapped and held hostage.
Vote to stop funding? Vote for an immediate start to withdrawal? American soldiers will die. As they have been dying. Bush knows he can blame Congress and the public's lack of "will" for the continued horror.
Read and discuss with us after the jump.
