They are continuing with their losing ways by asking for timelines in Iraq and threatening to cut off funds if they don't get their way.
Guys, come on, you know damn good and well you aren't going to get your way. I do find it very curious about their timing though. With Iraqi security forces finally starting to get their act together, they won't be need us much anymore in the relatively near future. So Democrats will try to take credit when/if that time comes and the Iraqi's have already taken over the majority of their security. If we're not needed in the area, Democrats will say "see, I told you I'd cut off funding". Kind of like when a murderer is in jail and a cop wannabe tries to take credit for his capture when it was the real cops who got him.
The first, sponsored by Reid and Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, would set a goal of beginning the withdrawal of U.S. troops by April 2008, unless the Iraqi government demonstrated political and security progress. However, President Bush would have the power to waive that requirement.
The second, sponsored by Reid and Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, would go further and cut off funding for the Iraq war by next April, without giving the president any flexibility to extend the mission.
"On Iraq, we're going to hold the president's feet to the fire," Reid said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
Let's face facts here Reid, no you're not. You're not going to do jack because you don't have the votes, you don't have the support of the American people, and you simply don't have the balls to do it. You are a weak willed politician who puts power over the security and safety of others. You don't believe one word of what you are saying, you're just following the polls and that's not what leadership is about.
