Pressed to support these allegations, the White House yesterday could cite no major Democrat who has proposed cutting off funds or suggested that withdrawing from Iraq would persuade terrorists to leave Americans alone

Say What?

Right.  Because only the potential chairman of the House Weighs and Means Committee (if Dems get a majority) has called for cutting funding to the war in Iraq.

Get a clue, Woofie.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

No one is going to abandon the Iraqi gov’t and the residents of the Green Zone to be hung on Bahgdads lamposts.

The President will have to justify his now off budget expenditures with clear policy.
Staying the course non-answers doesn’t cut it.

Actually, it’s Bush who is not giving the Army the funding it needs:

The White House Office of Management and Budget rejected Army chief Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker’s extraordinary plea by for the additional funds to pay for repairing and replacing thousands of worn out and blown up tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles and Humvees.

Instead of the $25 billion that Schoomaker says the Army needs just to keep doing what it’s been doing with spit, adhesive tape and baling wire for the last five years, the Pentagon says the Army can have $7 billion.

one political party here in America finds it politically opportune to make Iraq seem like a failure

If it’s just the Democrats trying to make Iraq “seem” like a failure, then why does James Baker call it “a helluva mess”, and why does Arlen Spector think our troops are being sucked into a civil war?

I think Zebari’s exact words were “we need to bleed the Infidel for another year, at least.”

James Baker and Arlen Spector are RINOs.  Duh.

Baloney.  If the Democrats get in they’ll choke off funding and spend the next two years on impeachment hearings.
