A reasonable position yours is.
As a person that opposes this deal, I must admit it is difficult watching the Dems lie and pander and Republicans being spineless once again.
These same Dems would scream bloody-murder if Customs even did a double-take at a guy getting on a plane that was dressed in full Arab regalia, a bulky mid-section and reading aloud from a Koran.
That was the whole problem, the knee jerk reaction turned into a knee jerk amendment attached to troop's money.
