Playing Poker With George Bush
I am seeing article after article that Bush can send troops to Iraq, but he cannot move money the Pentagon’s enormous budget around to pay them. Well, paying the troops is not Bush’s responsibility – that job belongs to Congress. So, will Congress not fund troops sent to a Congressionally sanctioned war effort by a duly elected President of the People? Will Democrats leave our military high and dry as a sick show of support for the troops? I kid you not, the 2008 election year could very well be determined in the next few months. The Democrats may actually be stupid enough to punish the troops over their frustration with Bush. BDS is that strong in them.
“The real problem comes if efforts in Iraq begin to show fruit. If the Iraqi military is able to beat down these insurgent groups and if the security situation begins to improve, the Democrats would be faced with their worst nightmare … success.”
CP,
The MSM will _never_ report a success in Iraq. Every story will be spun in the most negative way.
