House Democrats Have Another Iraq War Plan

   It is Thursday and once again the Democrats are planning on advancing more legislation that would have US combat troops out of Iraq by the fall of 2008. The time table would be moved up if Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki doesn't hit security goals ( benchmarks ) set by the US.

    This legislation will be given to the rank and file Democrats sometime today and the legislation would be added to the Bush request of $100 billion for the war effort in both Iraq and Afghanistan.   Source

   Once again I see this legislation as going absolutely no where until the Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha group of Democrats can get the moderate Democrats to get with the program. The moderate side seems more concerned with their image and less concerned with taking any action to end this Iraq war.

   This is getting to be a bit annoying while the two sides try to come together on an agreement that they can both live with.

   I myself do not see what the problem is with this. Moderates think that cutting the funding would be tying the hands of the military commanders which, if you stop and think about for a serious minute, does not make any sense. I've gone through this shit before so I am not going to repeat myself.

   Anyway, the Dems need to get on the ball and to quit dicking around with this mess and do something. Right now, the Dems are being pretty much laughed at by the Republicans because of their ineptitude to pass anything meaning with the war issue and the Dems are beginning to irritate the voters who are getting a little more than impatient with all of the bullshit.
