WASHINGTON - House Democratic leaders are developing an anti-war proposal that wouldn't cut off money for U.S. troops in Iraq while requiring President Bush to acknowledge problems with an overburdened military.
The plan could draw broad bipartisan support but was expected to be a tough sell to members who said they don't think it goes far enough to assuage voters angered by the four-year war.
Bush "hasn't to date done anything we've asked him to do, so why we would think he would do anything in the future is beyond me," said Rep. Lynn Woolsey ( voting record), D-Calif., one of a group of liberal Democrats pushing for an immediate end to the war.
Someone needs to just flat out slap a few of these Democrats in the Congress and the Senate upside their heads! In duty to my country, I volunteer to do it.
Thus far we have had those worthless non-binding resolutions that went no where. Come to think of it, that is all that we have had. Those Democrats just keep insisting on doing things the hard way, it would seem instead of just going for the jugular and cutting off the war funding which is the only way that Bush is going to be stopped.
It is pretty sad that even those that we elected in November are buying into the cutting funding will not show support for our US troops, which is the biggest lie and one of the best that the Bush spin machine has come up with to date.
I think that the Dems have forgotten that the American citizens want his war over and next next year either. These politicians do not give the American people enough credit as we generally know that cutting the funds off is not going to hurt the troops in any way, shape or form.
Come on ladies and gentleman! Quit screwing around and do what we put you into office to do. Quit worrying about politics for once and worry about our people over in Iraq.
