100% correct. Some people on FR needs to read the US Constitution and see who is the CIC of the armed forces and who has 90% of power on foreign policies issues.

If you go with the stupid logic of some people about the power of Congress to shape foreign policy, then we it is not worth for us fighting anymore to win Presidential elections let us just focus on winning Congress.

But the fact that they have the ability to say such a thing will happen to the enemedia, who will then echo it in breathless joy to the enemy, will tell the enemy that they only need to withdrawl and regroup.
Then they will return with an invigoration and fury that we've never seen from them before.
Even mentioning this makes them stronger, encourages their morale, and increases their number.
President Bush can keep our heroes there for years, and completely disregard this democrat announcement. It won't matter to the enemy.
They'll just leave and wait now.

Doesn't matter. The President can't command the armed forces without the funds to do so. Without money, he'll have no choice but to bring them home.

I will hope the CIC reads the Constitution.
And if the Rats try to defund the war may the American people protest loudly.

BTW Great Home page!
