I don't think so. I believe they will make it LOOK like they're trying to do so, while the votes go otherwise.

Do you mean to say that you think they will make it look like they are defunding the Iraq war, but not really doing it? Why would they do that, other than to obviously pander? If they say they're defunding the Iraq war, that's one thing but people will need to see that happening or it will come back to bite them.

The radial wing will bray like donkeys, making it look like they're against the war, but the moderates will quietly vote against them. It's all about appearances.
