Democrats' Bill on Iraq Wouldn't End War

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/112307Y.shtml

According to The Associated Press, "The Democrats' flagship proposal on Iraq
is aimed at bringing most troops home. Yet if enacted, the law would still
allow for tens of thousands of US troops to stay deployed for years to come.
This reality - readily acknowledged by Democrats who say it's still their
best shot at curbing the nearly five-year war - has drawn the ire of antiwar
groups and bolstered President Bush's prediction that the United States will
most likely wind up maintaining a hefty long-term presence in Iraq, much
like in South Korea."

3. I can not believe they still take us for stupid
Everyone knows the USA is there to stay for OIL and BASES except the cave dwellers. It certainly explains the cheney-like poll numbers congress has acheived. Go Nancy! :eyes:

5. See, I'm not stressing as bad because I expect it
It hurts at first to realize our country is dead but there's a strange peace afterwards.
