The Dems are going to defund the war...there will be no surge.
You are right.
They're going to vote on it before Bush even announces what he's going to do.
That would be political suicide. They won't do that. Anyway, Pelosi is Speaker in name only. She hasn't got a majority.
From what I've heard today on radio soundbites many of them are certainly against a "surge". Whatever is needed to help Iraqi's step up to assume control of their nation.
In the context of the history of war, this has been the most successful opening round ever. It will be a long war since we are not battling the defined boundaries of a nation, but the undefined pathology of the mind.
Arafat is dead. Zarqawi is dead. Saddam is dead. Measured progress.
Trickle down annihilation works.
