By any means neccessary. If "parlimentary games" is what needs to be done, then by God, let's do it.

Oh, and for your own information, the soldiers won't be going without body armor or ammunition. There are currently two methods that the war is funded, via the regular military budgets, which takes care of basics like food, ammo and armor, and these emergency supplementary bills, which takes care of things like the extra gas we're using on missions, hiring mercs, that sort of thing. It is this latter bill, these big 100 billion bills that we need to hold up in committee. We won't be putting soldiers in danger by doing so, we will simply be forcing the war to grind to a halt, and bringing the troops home.

And if Bushboy signs such an Executive Order, then he signs his own death warrant, for that, right there, is grounds for impeachment. Oh, yeah, the Dems seem reluctant to persue that option also.:eyes:

But if Dems continue to pussy foot around this whole idea of ending the war, if they continue to hem and haw, coming up with excuse after excuse to not stop the war, the anti war vote is going to go away in '08, and all of those gains that the Dems got in '06 go away, as will the presidency.

The US population wants this war to end NOW, They want the Dems to end it by any means neccessary. If that means we have to hold these emergency war funding bill in committee, so be it. Go before the public, explain what you're doing, why you're doing it, and the public(who is overwhelming anti war) will support the Dems. And this war will be strangled by lack of money, and the troops will come home.

But waiting for all the stars to align, waiting until there are bullet proof majorities in both Houses and we have the White House means that thousands and thousands more people will die on both sides. This the American public won't stand for, they spoke loud and clear in November that they want out now. You can't wait for perfect, you've got to work with what you've got. And what we have is committee control. I suggest that we use it.
