I guess some Democrats on Capitol Hill finally read the Constitution, that pesky document that states that the President gets to decide how wars are conducted. That's the only conclusion I could reach when I read that Democrats intend to draft an Iraq war spending bill sans timetables or pork.
While details remain subject to change, the measure is designed to close the books by Friday on a bruising veto fight between Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress over the war. It would provide funds for military operations in Iraq through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.
This is, of course, what Congress is supposed to do. It's nice that it only took one ass-kicking from the President for them to realize it.
The usual suspects are trying to turn their sow's ear into a silk purse. It's always amusing to watch the moonbats when they really lose. That's when you get lots of "let's look on the bright side" kinds of posts. Not the usual "We're gonna ram this f****** legislation down Bush McHitlerChimpyHalliburton's f****** throat!"
