The Democrats, True to Their Nature, Surrender to Bush

True to their nature, the Democrats followed another plan right into surrender, giving into the evil Bush/Hitler on the Iraq War funding issue.

What should this tell you about the left? They have no fortitude. When things in Iraq started to go bad, they wanted to run. And how long did they stand up to Bush on funding the Iraq War? A month?

The left has no agenda, except they vaguely know they hate Bush and that America is evil and causes global warming. Their weakness is that, otherwise, they have no courage of the convictions, especially when it calls for long term thinking, planning, and execution.

The Democratic-led Congress authorized more Iraq war spending on Friday, sending President George W. Bush a defense bill requiring no change in strategy after failing again to impose a timetable for U.S. troop withdrawals.

The defense policy bill, approved 90-3 by the U.S. Senate, also expanded the size of the U.S. Army and set conditions on the Bush administration's plan to build a missile defense system in Europe.

The measure already had passed the House of Representatives and now goes to Bush, who is expected to sign it into law. It authorizes Pentagon programs expected to cost $506.9 billion during fiscal 2008, which began in October.

The bill authorized another $189.4 billion for the Iraq and Afghan wars, for which Congress has already approved some $600 billion. But it does not deliver the new money. That is done by appropriations legislation at the center of a big dispute on Capitol Hill. Read on....
