A totally disingenuous law, aimed at making it impossible for strategic planners to have enough available troops to continue the current mission. If Webb had real courage he would introduce the "End The Iraq War Now Amendment." That is the real goal of this dishonest farce.

If George Allen was not such a disaster of a candidate, we would not be dealing with this Reagan reject.

I hope Col David Hunt is happy that Webb got elected.

Remind me again how many commanders-in-chief the Constitution authorizes?

Richmond ping.
Our junior (high school) senator is at it again. When Warner retires he’ll be the senior senator. Good grief.

I hope Webb isn’t becoming another “Murtha Marine”.

Webb will never be as blatantly disrespectful to the Marines as Murtha. But the politics are much the same.
To: Corin Stormhands
Not yet at least. We shall see after he gets a little more taste of POWER as a Senator. I have never understood how former Marines like Chuck Robb and Jim Webb could ever belong to a party which HATES our military. All the Marines I know are hawks and I mean REAL hawks.

Webb (Lt Dan) is nothing more than an elected Cindy Sheehan.

His son is currently serving. I think there is a conflict of interest (no pun intended) for him in sponsoring this bill. One could make the argument that he is only doing this because he wants his son home.

One could make the argument that he is only doing this because he wants his son home. And he's willing to slug the President to make his point.

If Virginia residents were not such emotionally immature idiots, a good conservative Senator like Allen would be in office working for the defeat of our enemy in Iraq.

Oh bite me.
Some of us worked our butts off to keep this moron out of office. And a d@mn good percentage of freepers worked against us.

Looks like they have given up on “For the Children” to get bills passed, and now have turned to “For the Troops”.
