"He's right. They can't force him to bring the troops home...if they cut funds, bush has two recourses, 1) he re-directs $$ from elsewhere 2) he starves supplies. In either case he makes a public outcry, and when the mission fails as it will, he gets to blame it on the dems. The dems have no play, beyond a dis_play of disapproval." I don't agree. I think America would blame it on the chimp. They already HAVE, and want to withdraw - he's just not listening.

Three years ago, I think that's the way it would have played out because DC did not have the attention of most Americans. However, they do now. Many people are watching closely how this plays out. You saw the American reaction to Bush's....negative. We are one step away from a lynching mob. Bush is playing with fire...and I am not entirely clear why. I believe that McCain loses his prez bid over this, as does Guiliani and anyone who supports this idiocy. The war is lost. Iran has won. It took a drunk baseball owner from texas to bring this kind of shame to the US. I agree.
