Going Nowhere

Let's face it, Bush is not going to accept the reality that this war has gone way out of hand and we should have left years ago, and the Democrats are not going to defund it without an exit strategy.

They're only a few steps away from capitulating to the President and giving him his money because they have to. It's going to rile the left, annoy those who want out, and not change a damn thing in Iraq just yet.

There's nothing Congress can do anymore except cut off all funds until they have slightly more than 1/3 of the Republican caucus on their side. If that doesn't happen by September...it won't happen.

The President wins because nobody wants to cut money to the troops. The President wins until he leaves office, and is replaced by somebody who actually wants to formate an exit strategy.

The war is won, we need to get out before it changes it's mind.
