21. I am saying you can cut funding, but can't pass withdrawal
go ahead. Refuse to fund any more war. Good for you. But that won't end it.

BushCo has taken money from other areas and used it for their own purpose in the past. There was a whole mess with funds that were supposed to be for Afghanistan and hunting Osama that got somehow spent on Iraq, for example. So even if he doesn't have funds expressly for the war, he will get the money and probably be called a hero by the media for doing so.

Add to that months of Repig grandstanding about how we can't leave our troops in harms way unfunded, and you have free attack ads against Dems and liberals all the way until next election.

So now not only does the war continue and the death toll keep rising, but now Dems are seen even more as anti-troop and Republicans walk with the next election.

Did this scenario seem ideal to you?
