I do believe I mentioned something about waiting for the democrats to "regroup for another round of "cut and run" legislation" a little earlier. I had no idea it would come so quick
WASHINGTON (AP) – House Democratic leaders planned to brief party members Tuesday on new legislation that would fund the Iraq war through July, then give Congress the option of cutting off money after that if conditions do not improve.
If members agree to back the plan as expected, a vote on the new war spending bill could come as early as this week. The proposal, pitched last week by Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., was first disclosed Thursday by The Associated Press.
And they sure do not disappoint! However, fly in the tofu
The new version is likely to meet resistance in the Senate. Several Senate Democrats said they would oppose a short-term funding bill because it leaves open the question of whether troops will get the resources they need after July.
But, only a temporary inconvenience for the surrender monkeys
If the House version of the bill fails in conference with the Senate, Democratic leaders say their members will have other chances to affect Iraq policy. Party leaders have pointed to the 2008 defense authorization bill, which helps to set Pentagon policy, as well as the 2008 appropriations bills.
Surrender at all costs!!!
Hey, look, I am for cracking down on the Iraqi leaders, get them to get it together and get the job done, get our troops out so they can kick ass elsewhere, but not at the expense of funding the troops for purely partisan politics and appeasing the Nutroots.
BTW, I know it isn’t Friday, but Surrendie demanded to be fed.
