Democrats in Congress should take one of two positions:

1) cut off funding NOW and force the issue.

or

2) defer to Bush as commander-in-chief, and let him
have his funding with no restrictions; they could
still state their strong disagreement with Bush's
policy.

The approach the Democrats are taking now is very bad for
them politically, in my opinion.

No, I voted for the Dems because they were clear about a path to success, at least as much success that Bush's missteps will allow. Get the troops out in a timely fashion. No more open-ended commitments that allow the Iraqis to bicker and drag their feet while posturing for position. No more wondering how many more of our troops will die while nothing is accomplished.

Better to let the Iraqis work things out themselves sooner rather than later. Already, the blood feuds are rising. The more we keep them apart, the more these feuds build without resolution. They need to learn how they can live together.
