Look at it this way: if the Democrats set a timetable or cut funding or limit Bush in anyway, they set themselves up for blame once the war is officially 'lost'. The cry will be "We could have won the war, but we were hamstrung by an oppositional Democratic Congress."
By caving in to Bush, they've given him the rope he needs to hang himself, if only they can keep it around his neck. This gawdawful war will continue, and it will still be raging come election eve, November 4 2008, hanging like a bloody albatross around the neck of every GOP candidate.
The cry will be, "You Republicans have lost the war. The time is come for Democrats to take over and fix this mess you've created."
Meanwhile, the sand runs red with the blood of our sons and daughters, and of the many innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. God rest their poor weary souls.
To those loyal readers who give a damn, thank you, but I won't waste any more time preaching to the choir. I have a book that I need to write; perhaps one day it will find an audience.
May the Good Lord forgive our beloved U.S.A. her sins, for surely the world will not.
Nuremburg (or worse) awaits us.
