The author of the article is already anticipating how the GOP will spin a refusal to fund the surge aand is finding ways to prevent it........that's the kind of anticipatory thinking needed now. Its the kind of evasive maneuvering that's critical. In the meantime, the Dems are isolating Bush even from his own party. They are building a case that this surge is not only foolish but reckless. Should Bush have the cojones to go forward without Congress's support, the Dems will have prepared America for Bush's and Cheney's impeachment.......and it may come to that.

Don't you understand? It will be the middle to end of february before the dems can even do anything about funding. THe troops are moving into position already. The 82nd is already there

Bush's National Security Adviser: When The Troops Get In Harm's Way, Congress Will Support Them...

The New York Times | JIM RUTENBERG and PATRICK HEALY | Posted January 14, 2007 09:57 PM
READ MORE: Stephen J. Hadley, Baghdad

From The New York Times:

Mr. Bush's National Security Adviser, Stephen J. Hadley, said in an interview on "Meet the Press" on NBC that the White House has sufficient money under its control to deploy the troops as planned, and he suggested that once the troops are in place, Congress would be reluctant to cut off funding.

"I think once they get in harm's way, Congress's tradition is to support those troops," Mr. Hadley said.
