I can no longer support cutting off funding because of the present situation in the White House.
When we cool down and put some thought into the so called "capitulation" by Congress we find that it is in reality the only thing to do to support the troops.
OK, OK, when you stop calling for my lynching and read on you will see....
Lets go back to 1971 then 72 and finally 73 when the war was finally defunded and our guys came home, the administration at the time knew it was licked and got out, although they supported the war they were reasonable people and as misguided as they were the troops safety was important enough to stop the fighting and leave. Everyone wants us to do the same for Iraq but in this case there is one very important difference, we have an immoral, lying, dumber than cow shit , crazy , malfeasant, criminal twosome in the white house.
Now for the reason they did what was best.......
I don’t think a single person has taken in the fact that with the Bush/Chenney asshole consortium we are dealing with, they would not hesitate to actually leave our guys in place in Iraq without the resources to keep them safe. All of this just to blame the Dems politically.
These guys CAN NOT BE TRUSTED. I believe that they would use the resultant shit storm to activate shrubs little dictator directive and attempt to take over our government claiming a catastrophe and a need to save the troops. You may not think this would happen but I really do not want to find out.(remember Blackwater)
Look, we have a decent majority in the house but with Lieberman as the majority maker in the Senate, we might as well say we don’t have a majority. With the Republican congressional members still walking in lockstep with shrub a 2/3 majority is a pipe dream. Sure the voters sent us a message, but at the same time decided to allow way more repubs to hold onto there corrupt seats. WE the people need to make 2008 the day we take back our government and end this cluster f**k once and for all.
