WASHINGTON (AP) -- Believing they have been given a clear mandate from voters, Democrats are trying to challenge President Bush on the Iraq war while struggling to find enough votes to do it.

Party leaders are facing a caucus deeply divided on the issue and hold only a narrow majority in Congress. With their hands tied if just a few members stray, Democratic leaders are finding it tough to pass legislation that would require Bush to start bringing troops home.

That's balls? A non binding resolution, or a tack on admendment to a funding bill that requires them to buy votes? LOL
 
"If they fail to provide our troops with what they need, it's on their backs," said Republican Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia.

Well, hypocrite, you failed to provide our troops with what they need, and I don't see it on your back at all. And everyone knows, you go to war not with the army you want, but with the army you have. How soon we forget.
 
Some anti-war liberals are expected to join Republicans in opposing the measure because they say it continues to bankroll an immoral war. And if the bill does scrape by in the House, it may sink in the Senate, where many Democrats have resisted firm timetables on the war.

On top of that, President Bush has vowed to veto such a restrictive measure if it ever reaches his desk.


And so the band marches on...and they continue to die. All the while our brave men from the 111th fighting keyboardists continue, bravely, to populate message boards with the words "you cowards", from their bedrooms.

What a world.
