Reply #10: Realistically? How about historically?

[Parkerlane]

Realistically? How about historically? A review of the U.S. history of military withdrawals would be in order here. See, http://www.projectfilibuster.com

Since the inception of the War Powers Act, the ONLY WAY our troops came home was when Congress completely cut funding - each time against the sitting President's will.

In other words, Democrats could have already cut funding to this war via filibuster (when Bush was pimping his $100 billion war bill) but elected not to do so, claiming cutting funding to this war would be harmful to the troops. This is one of the most despicable lies ever told by Democrats and Republicans.
