Dems Say Fight Has Just Begun

      I like the news headline on the Yahoo News page this morning.

   " Dems:Fight Over Iraq War Has Just Begun " is the headline. Maybe somebody needs to slap the Democrats up besides their heads because they lost the fight over the Iraq war yesterday when they voted to give Bush a blank check for this crap. The Democrats now not only have Bush to put up with, but come this weekend when they go home, they have the people who voted them into office waiting for some answers.

   I'm no political science major but I do know that this bill should not have been introduced, much less passed. The Democrats caved in much to easily and that minimum wage increase that they are now touting means nothing to those troops who will not make it back home from Iraq.

  Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both voted against this bill which is a shift from their earlier position that against troop withdrawal from Iraq so I wonder if they just voted this way because they knew that this bill was going to pass anyway? A vote just to get a little friendly publicity for the public?

  Here's a funny one for you.

Thursday's legislative action capped weeks of negotiations with the White House, which agreed to accept some $17 billion more than Bush had requested as long as there were no restrictions on the military campaign.    Yahoo News

  Let me get this right, okay? Bush would not have taken the additional $17 billion if there were a few restrictions in the bill? What kind of horseshit is that? For that matter, why did the Congress give him the additional money in the first place if they are attempting to stop this fiasco? None of this makes any sense and the Democrats must be made to answer for this .

"This debate will go on," vowed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

"Senate Democrats will not stop our efforts to change the course of this war until either enough Republicans join with us to reject President Bush's failed policy or we get a new president," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said.

  Senator Reid, Speaker Pelosi, you just lost the debate you idiots!
