Republicans are not the only ones in Washington, DC waging a war. The Democrats have been pursuing a publicity war over the direction the U.S. should take in Iraq—wasting time and resources to advance their political party before the 2008 presidential elections.
President Bush has vowed to veto any emergency spending bill that puts a timeline in place for troop withdrawal out of Iraq. Still, without the votes to overturn the veto, the Democrats have insisted on passing legislation in the House and Senate that is ridden with millions of dollars in pork, and a firm “Surrender Date” that is bound to leave the Middle East in even more turmoil.
It is time for the political game to come to an end and for the Democrats to start compromising with the Republicans over the direction of the war. Neither the President nor the Democrats will get their way entirely, so it is time for everyone to play nice and find a real solution. After all, the deadline the Democrats really care about is November 2008.
