Dem's want to decide how the military spends its money on the war in hope that it can strangle them out of Iraq while looking like they actually support the troops. Unconstitutional, insane, insensitive, deceptive, foolish: are all words that come to mind. Can anyone learn from history? Wars run by politicians fail. Viet Nam anyone?
I knew this was exactly what the Dem's would do from the moment I found out we were going back into Iraq. Try to look like they supported the efforts, then undermine the efforts so they could complain during the elections, then back out once they regained power. Simple three step plan devised, no doubt, by Kennedy.
