You probably read a post by me. When we had all of those troops over in Saudi Arabia the budget was up for approval. The Rats made a tax increase a condition of approving funding for Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

The media was only too happy to carry Buchanan's attacks about the tax increase without giving any background into why it happened. I was in my mid-40's and remember it quite well.

That is what I think the Rats will try to do...tack something damaging onto the funding for Iraq.

You are exactly correct.

Pelosi and Clintoon will carry out their tax increases and tie the increases to funding the WOT.

I'm afraid Bush will give them something, and then they will stab him in the back just the way they did his father. Remember all those repetitions of him saying "read my lips...no new taxes" in their campaign commercials? The Demons have no shame. They were the ones responsible for taxes.

I think Bush is concerned, above all, with not losing the war at this point. He's deeply flawed as a politician (like his father), but he's a patriot so are the people around him (Cheney, Condy).
