A couple of years ago your statement would have started a long discussion
with lots of accusations of anti-Americanism. Now even the conservatives
can't really attempt to defend this stuff. They'll be a few insults, and
the thread will die in about 10 posts. Their might be one or two "You just
want to cut and run." slogans, but no one will attempt to pretend that
there is some real chance of success in Iraq.

My only response to that is you can no longer blame the Republicans alone
for this lingering national catastrophe. The Democrats control both houses
of Congress. They've been sitting since the January 2007 session started.
Yet, I have seen no attempts by them to float any bill bringing the troops
home.

Then you ought to pull your head out of the sand. There have been
several attempts to cut funding for the war. Bush says he'll veto
any bill that cuts war funding.

Sigh... Bush is not paying for the war out of his own pocket.

Such *deep* analysis from you, Steve. LOL!

This is just another example of your absolutely absurd comments that shows
you cannot understand simple concepts. Edwin *never* suggested, hinted,
implied or otherwise indicated that Bush was "paying for the war out of his
own pocket." Never.

The *** Bush and his band of thugs might have started this mess, but
your Democrats have had ample time and ample power to end it and haven't.
Why is that? Since January, the blood of each American soldier who dies is
equally on the hands of both parties.

Ample time? Are you joking? You expect an instant answer for this mess,
and if the Democrats can't come up with it, they're "equally" responsible?
It wasn't Democrats who sent more troops over the objections of just about
the whole country.

The Dems claimed to want an end to it... which is why the whole country voted
them in. Personally, I'm glad they didn't just immediately pull the funding
plug... that would have been the worse of the choices.

What do you think the Dems should do to best handle the mess Bush and crew
have created?
