The Democrats really want to blow it for America, don’t they? First, they completely underestimate the “surge” and its possible effectiveness. Second, they cozy up to all of the loony, extremist left wing anti-war groups like moveon.org, media matters, etc. Now, they are continuing to play politics with our troops and their lives. The liberals will do anything to try and get us to lose this war. That now includes cutting off the military funding for the two wars: Iraq and Afghanistan. They claim that the coffers are drying up and that our troops are fighting valiantly. Do you really think they could care one lick about our troops lives? Especially now they’re tying in the funding to the troops withdrawing, since the newest bill has failed Pelosi and Reid say that they will not revisit the military funding again till January. JANUARY! While our troops are dying, Congress will take a vacation. That’s real leadership for you. When the going gets tough, the Democratic Congress goes on vacation and puts on plenty of SPF-30.

According to the Houston Chronicle, this is not really a big deal. Of course it isn’t. This is a paper who could care less about the war or our troops:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the only way to get troops the money was to approve the restrictions outlined by Democrats.

“Our troops continue to fight and die valiantly. And our Treasury continues to be depleted rapidly, for a peace that we seem far more interested in achieving than Iraq’s own political leaders,” said Reid, D-Nev.

Republicans said Democrats were being irresponsible.

“We need to get our troops everything they need,” said Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “We need to get it to them right now.”

Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said this week that if Congress cannot pass legislation that ties war money to troop withdrawals, they would not send President Bush a bill this year.

Instead, they would revisit the issue upon returning in January, pushing the Pentagon to the brink of an accounting nightmare and deepening Democrats’ conflict with the White House on the war.

In the meantime, Democrats say, the Pentagon can eat into its $471 billion annual budget without being forced to take drastic steps.

“The days of a free lunch are over,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Do you notice the outrage in that quote? Yeah, I didn’t think so.
