If Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Stenny Hoyer, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the leading dems don't stop the war, they are failing to use the power we've given them.
They know that all they need to do in the house is to not pass any legislation funding the war.
They know that all they need to do in the senate is to invoke cloture and require 60 votes for a bill to fund the war to pass. And then they have to rein in the right wing democrats who are the biggest cowards and sellouts. They need to identify the ones who refuse to get with the program and play on the team to block the war funding.
They SHOULD pass funding that provides money to bring the troops home. Let the Republicans and right wing democrats oppose that legislation and explain it to their constituents. Let Bush veto it. Then the true losers will be on the defense.
It's time to end this insane Iraq occupation.
It's time for the Democrats to find their spines and do their jobs.
It's time to call losing cowards for what they are, and to take away the power the Democrats have allowed them to retain.
Once the Dems find their spines and take their stand, a lot of other things will fall into place. The right wingers will collapse even further into their failure, looking more incompetent, foolish and traitorous to the US, the troops and democracy than ever. The Dems will charge forward with their hearings. The clouds will disperse. The sun will shine. The light will show a sad USA, brutally damaged by massive herds of idiots and fools, bleeding, gushing from multiple wounds. But there will be light, and we will be able to begin to heal the damage, to recover as much as we are able. We will see the corrupt politicians. We will see the corrupt corporations. Justice will see the light.
Justice will triumph.
