What now for the Iraq Invasion/Occupation?
Can't do polls now, but here are some possibilities:

1. Shrubco continues to put up $87 Billion funding requests, which are passed without any discussion by Repubs and Dems alike despite the massive budget and economic impact of Katrina (in other words no change)

2. Shrubco shows brains for a change and uses Katrina as political "cover" to ask for a request from their puppet government to leave, and beats a hasty retreat.

3. Democrats show spine and require any further funding of the venture to be subject to inquiries/discussion re possible exit strategy, "victory" conditions, appropriateness of this use of the National Guard given the obvious domestic requirements, prioritization with respect to Katrina related funding requirements, and revisiting tax cut issues like estate tax

4. Other...

Shouldn't we now be demanding that our elected representatives not blindly and massively fund this venture as before?
