Didn't we hear about some sort of "mandate" that the Democrats got from the 2006 midterms?

WASHINGTON — Just hours after floating the idea of cutting $20 billion from President Bush's $142 billion request for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan next year, Kent Conrad, Senate Budget Committee chairman, was overruled by fellow Democrats yesterday.

"It's nothing that any of us are considering," Senate majority leader Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, told reporters.

Conrad's trial pink balloon to cut war funding would have affected the budget year beginning Oct. 1 and was separate from the ongoing debate over Bush's $100 billion request for immediate supplemental funding for Iraq and Afghanistan.

Fish slapping. Maybe that mandate wasn't quite as much as they have stated. When you take a poll of 1,000 or so people, and say that the majority of all 300,000,000 Americans want to cut and run, ain't cuttin' it!

Most Americans do want to get out of Iraq. I do. However, most, if they were ever really asked, would certainly say that want America to leave Iraq with a win, not cutting and running, excuse me, phased redeployment to Okinawa.
