On another subject, apparently Congress wants the war to end by the way they voted the new war spending bill. Out by March 2008, they say, despite the threat from Bush to veto it. I feel sorry for the soldiers if he vetoes it...not only because they won't be able to come home, but without a working budget, they're going to get shortchanged, and they get shit pay as it is.
1. Because Iraq will be Shia dominated.
2. The soldiers will get funds, the Pentagon can take from other programs.
3. The Democrats filled that "bill" with things completely unrelated to the war, it is THEIR fault if the troops dont get what they need.
4. The Democrats knew the bill would be VETOed they are just trying to make political points for the next election, so they can say they are against the war.
