#1 Bring it on, idiot. Pick up where John f'nKerry left off. The Dems line up needs a new Designated Moron.

#4 This will have two consequences:

1) Jiahadis will think that they will win if they persist.

2) Neutral irakis will think that they better congratiate Irak's future masters (ie jihadis) if they want to survive, so better give them shelter, supplies and/or participate in operations.

#5 "If one soldier or marine dies, or is injured because of this moron..."

Hundreds already have.

This war is not a contest of arms; it is a contest of wills. And the enemy keeps fighting on largely because he is not oblivious to the obvious: hearing what our Democrats are saying, he rightly calculates that his dedication and staying power are superior to ours and that we will eventually give up and go home if only he can hang in there a while longer. So he keeps on killing Americans.

Russ Feingold and his kind are murdering American soldiers.

#8 They can pass all the troop fund cutting bills they want, one a day for all I care. Remember the process here. The Congress has to pass it as well and then Bush will get to Veto it. They will go into suplemental emergency funding, like during the Clinton era. It will take a 2/3's vote to over ride Bush and that will NEVER happen. Feingold is posturing for the "we told you so" vote in the hopes that America will lose this war. He is aslo going to force a rift in the Democratic party. I wish him the best and gods speed on getting his "binding" resolution to the floor. This will seperate the wheat from the chaff and force the Dems to pick a side. I love him, the blessid moonbat! He has put a gun to the back of the Dem parties head in an effort to shoot himself in the foot.

#9 Mewonders if any of the Donk Congress critters were so concerned about the "Constitutionality" of this (exact same) issue back in the 70s? Vietnam redux anyone?

As told in my previous post Feingold's resolution has greatly increased the chances for terrorists winning the war.

#11 The War has a domestic component. Feingold is merely making it more obvious, and will force more Democrats to give direct evidence of their desire to see the West destroyed.

During the Peloponnesian war, Athenians switched leadership a number of times. They even executed victorious generals. We shouldn't assume America will not witness insane domestic political battles too.

#12 The republicans should introduce one of those silly symbolic resolutions that denounces Feingolds attempt to cut troop funding in the middle of a war.

#13 Feingold voted to confirm General Patreus, but he's on record for opposing Bush's War and wants to cut funding for the troops. Democrats in gneneral and certain RINOS in particular speaketh out both sides of the mouth, don't you think?

#14 Looks like the administration is finally taking a stand against this kind of shit. Gates had something to say about the donks resolutions today.

#15 The depth of my loathing for most members of Congress scares me sometimes.
