The Dems disappoint once again,
Caving in to Dub’s warmong’ring yen.
Timeline’s gone from the bill.
Checks on Bush? Nothing! Nil!
Bush says, “Heel!” and the Dems reply, “When?”
from washingtonpost.com:
Democrats gave up their demand for troop-withdrawal deadlines in an Iraq war spending package yesterday, abandoning their top goal of bringing U.S. troops home and handing President Bush a victory in a debate that has roiled Congress for months.
The spending package, expected to total $120 billion when the final version is released today, would require Bush to surrender virtually none of his war authority.
“There has been a lot of tough talk from members of Congress about wanting to end this war, but it looks like the desire for political comfort won out over real action,” said Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.).
says the moose: go ahead, senator feingold and act surprised that once again the dems bluff and bluster but when it comes time to actually stand for something they crumble…
