This latest ridiculous attempt to surrender will fail, and cannot override a President Veto. This Resolution has less support than the previous effort. All it will accomplish is the identification of moderate Democrats and Republicans who may be eligible for defeat in 2008.

Update 6.11am: Jim Quinn's analysis of the bill is that the language on withdrawal starts out strong on the 1st page, "Demand Immediate Withdrawal", then weakens to "a reduction in forces" on page 3, then pages on...the language states the forces will be reduced to a minimum force required to provide security for the United States and the Iraqi Government. He says Speaker Pelosi knew the bill would fail from the get-go, and was meant as a crumb for the moonbat "base" of the Democrat Party.

Just as in the case of Vietnam, it's not a single bill or act that will end the U.S. occupation of Iraq. This bill is important in that:
ReplyDelete1) It explicitly demands accountability
2) 4 Republicans signed on
3) Many Democrats signalled a change in course
4) It accurately reflects the will of the American people.
You can read my take on it at Scrutiny Hooligans
Murtha's 'Slow Bleed' Strategy will not work.
ReplyDeleteThis President will veto any attempt to defund the war, and their is not a super majority to over ride a veto.
These efforts will be exposed, and generate a blow-back that will hurt the ones who vote for this stuff than against it.
I'll have more later.
