Dems’ Dead End

Posted by The Bear under Iraq

Iraq: The Democrat-led Congress will hand President Bush a bill that requires troop withdrawals to begin this fall. Bush has said he’ll veto it. Good. Now it’s time for the rest of the GOP to denounce this charade.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said Bush is in a “state of denial” over the surge in Iraq. In fact, it’s the Democrats who are in denial.

The $124 billion pork-filled bill was scheduled for a vote late Wednesday. Whenever it’s passed, the bill they present Bush will be vetoed. Though it’s possible they’ll be able to override the veto, it’s not likely. So what we have left is pure politics.

“On Iraq, the American people want a new direction, and we are providing it,” said Sen. Patty Murray, the Washington Democrat and one of the lead congressional negotiators on the legislation.

She’s right — they do have a new direction. It’s called reverse. Or in military parlance, retreat. But what’s truly amazing is that the Democrats can’t understand just how bad they look right now.
