If there was any one thing that Congress could do to reform itself, it would be to limit such kitchen-sink bills.

A bill should be limited to a single subject; otherwise, these absurd mixtures of war funding, milk price supports, and airline company pension plan relief make a mockery of deliberative law-making.

The War Bill helps the enemy too. Here everyone agreed with the new commander and the new strategy of increasing our force levels to grind out a victory, and Democrats decide before the plan has been fully executed that we've already lost, it's a waste so they'll only approve it with a firm surrender date.

Now if the Democrats really think this is a big waste of the people's time and money how can their concerns be so easily allayed by wasting an even larger amount of time on grand theatrics that encourages the enemy and prolongs or prevents our victory, and a much larger waste of money via pork spending? And now they vow that while having surrendered surrendering temporally, they'll be back to fight harder for surrender later.

Maybe the Democrat's war plan is to incapacitate the enemy with hysterical laughter. Why surge if you're just going to surrender?

Going to war with Democrats on "your side" is alot like having the French as allies.
