“The DBM needs to remember that W IS the CinC, not Congress.”
But the problem is the fact that Congress doesn’t know they aren’t the CinC.
The DBM will carry their water and make the people believe that the Congress has the right to decide who and where the troops will fight because it fits their anti-Military...anti-W template and bias’.

Morning, all.
To your above points, ditto and an addition:
When I heard the President’s veto speech the other day, I wished that among all of the things he said - all good - he had mentioned the most glaring reason why he couldn’t sign that piece of offal bill they sent him. (He mentioned it later, in his official “Message to the House”) That is, their bill was unconstitutional because it infringed on the powers vested in the Presidency by the Constitution, as Commander in Chief.
(I bet that KKK Byrd or any other “Constitution wavers” on the left (or Hagel on the Republican left) will bring that up. [ya, right] But I digress.)
So the Left wants to keep using their polls, made up or not? Fine. I’ll use the results of my polls...rather, the Election Day polls.
Poll Number One: votes for current Speaker Pelosi: less than 200,000. Votes for current Senate Maj. Leader Dingy Harry: Less than a million. Votes for George W Bush for President in 2004: over 62 million.
Poll average #2: results of Presidential elections since (and including) 1972. 24 years Republican, 12 years Democrat (2 presidents.)
In the last 28 years, 20 years Republican, 8 years Democrat (1 president - 2 if you count Hillary).
And it’s quite likely that the reasons for those numbers are being borne out on our televisions with these in-kind contributions to the Democrat party (known as the Sunday Morning Talk Shows), and in Republican debates moderated by the Leftest of the Left (no different than the nationwide presidential debates).
Heaven forbid that they actually read the Constitution!
Congress is trying for the bums rush against President Bush's surge policy, openly trying to imply they have the people's mandate to redeploy from Iraq.
So, the first porky bill got vetoed and wasn't able to be overriden. Never mind, they plan to keep pummeling the President until they can find the right formula to force W into a defensive negotiating position, where he'll accede to at least some of their demands.
From there, their goals will apparently transmogrify to "even more demands," and so on.
