#1 Believing they have been given a clear mandate from voters,...

That's what the whole 'culture of corruption' propaganda was about from September to November, wasn't it? well, wasn't it? The Donks are still trying to figure out if their message was about too much or too little.

If it really was about the 'war' the resolutions and cut off would have happened already. ~~Madame Defarge~~ Pelosi knows its a crock and knows that pushing the resolutions will sink the Donks power that took them a decade to get back. Now they got to work with the bullcrap they've been selling. Keep digging.

#2 Both the House and Senate measures would allow an unspecified number of troops to be left behind to conduct anti-terror missions, train Iraqi forces and protect U.S. diplomatic personnel and infrastructure. Of the more than 140,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, fewer than half are combat forces.

Of the 140,000 US troops in Iraq, the remaining are training Iraqi forces, and protecting diplomatic personnel and infrastructure. The other projects they do in their remaining time. What this does do is make very difficult any action against Iran... or it would were it passable. Pity for the Democratic leadership that it isn't.

#3 In a closed-door meeting, former President Carter's national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, tried to convince party skeptics that the bill was their best chance at ending the war.

I guess actually winning the war was never really considered as an option for ending it.

#4 Democrats who represent black populations never want a penny to go to anything but welfare. Go figure.
