DEMS SPREAD NONBINDING WASTE

What an incredible waste of time!

Tomorrow, the House will officially begin the debate on how to secure defeat in Iraq.

The Dems are determined to slap the Bush administration for its Iraq policy by passing a "nonbinding" resolution.

Cowards.

WASHINGTON -- House Democratic leaders circulated a nonbinding resolution Monday saying that Congress "disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush ... to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq."

The measure, expected to come to a vote by Friday, also says that "Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States armed forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq."

Debate on the resolution is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, with each of the 435 House members allotted five minutes to speak. It will mark the first debate in Congress on the war since Democrats won control of the House and Senate in last November's elections. Opposition to the war figured heavily in the outcome of the election.

Democratic leaders in the House and Senate have vowed to force an end to U.S. participation in the war, and made debate over a nonbinding resolution a symbolic first step.

"Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States armed forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq."

The Dems want to "protect" those brave, honorable troops?

Really?

Then why are the Dems playing politics with the lives of American military personnel?

If they truly believe that the war in Iraq is pure folly, then how can they dance around with symbolic first steps while Americans are dying?

Why don't the Dems cut off funding for the war?

Why don't they utilize their power and control of Congress to take immediate concrete steps to get the troops out of Iraq right now?

Simple.

They don't want the troops to leave as much as they want an opportunity to grandstand and posture without actually taking responsibility for their Iraq plan.

The Dems' plan, of course, is defeat.

The Dems are out to protect their political futures, not our troops and not our country.
