While I have always opposed this invasion with it’s susequent occupation (not war),I think this is the best we can do at this point and I hope it passes.
We can begin trying to patch things up in ‘08.

and how will it be for the dems who just voted to provide the necessary funding to continue the war for another 18 months?

I certainly hope each and every Dem who fotes to fund the war is taken out in the primaries. It’s time for a major purge.

Ol’ Mao knew how to do that.

IMPEACH PELOSI…..
Damn, she took impeachment of Bush off the table….that would have ended the war real quick…cause Cheney would have gone with him.

I hardly think bringing about a consensus of fat cats for further funding of the Iraq War can be considered leadership at this point in time. I think the Dems are gutless – IMPEACHMENT is written all over the sick and traitorous Bushco Admin.

John Dean: I think Bush has got his manhood in this and he won’t back down.

Also, he thinks the American people care a great deal about this.

Yes, we do!!!

Here’s how to accomplish this.

Tie all future funding of the war to an increase in corporate taxes to those firms and executives who have received contracts for materials used in this war or were involved in reconstruction or extraction. If more fundsare required tie it to general taxes that retracts the tax cuts on the top 5% of income earners.

The war must be pay-as-you go rather than exploding the deficit.

Just watch Bush and the Republicans sizzle on THAT!

They couldn’t vote against it without “cutting off funding for the war” (TRAITORS!) and yet they would antagonize the war profiteers that have been sucking at the government teat for the past five years.

18 months of funding for this war/occupation is so disheartening and depressing - it far overshadows any partisan joy i can find in seeing bush’s republicans beaten.

me too.

I want impeachment on the table and war with Iran off the table and the troops and mercenaries home now and all occupations to end.

and the chimp still threatens a veto on this legislation so that he can continue his endless war.

Here’s my take on this. You have to get the votes for a measure that will end the war IN ORDER TO GET BUSH TO VETO IT. Because we all know he’s gonna veto anything.

If you get a measure that can’t win the votes for passage and attempt to pass it…Bush looks strong and the Democrats look weak.

But by marshalling the votes now…it gets Bush and the Republicans on the record for one full cycle. As the war drags on, as it sadly will, the opposition to the war and continued erosion of Bush’s political support will make BETTER measures more and more likely.
