The Democrat's refusals to budge on their troop withdrawal plans are foolish and plain idiotic . Once again they are showing us that their only reasons are to paint Bush and his administration with the tarbrush of shame for defending Democracy .
Despite the truth that the funding bills are necessary for our troops' safety and well-being , they insist on telegraphing to the terrorists a date by which we will withdraw and leave the Iraqui populace open to worse abuse and strife than even Sadaam caused .
If we withdraw too soon , the region will open up to who knows who to come in and establish an even worse regime in the area , Iran most likely .
We all know the funding will be passed , because no sane member of Congress wants to be seen as unsupportive of the troops . But , stalling them this way is irresponsible of the Democrats . There are other ways to push the administration to end the involvement in the conflict in Iraq .
Neither of the funding bills currently being touted will pass if the pull-out date is still there when Bush has it on his desk . He has promised to , and will , veto . The Democrats don't have enough votes to override it , and I question whether it is even constitutional for them to pass such items infringing on the Commander-In-Chief's duties .
I know a majority of Americans want us out of Iraq , but I doubt that that majority wants more of our soldiers and more innocent Iraquis killed .
