Dems think they've "won" something. They haven't. Bush lays a smackdown on them. We'll see how this plays out. I think the Dems are trying to do too much. They ladled a bill with pork to get both the liberal kook fringe and the moderate conservatives who were just elected. Republicans should have not problem portraying this for what it is - Politics when troops are in harm's way.

THIS is when the President is at his best.

Here is the Dems' strategy. Marine Mom and Rep. Obey. We Share your frustration

We're trying to use the supplemental to end the war," said Obey, chairman of the Appropriations Committee and sponsor of the legislation that would end any combat role for U.S. troops by Aug. 31, 2008. "You can't end the war if you're going against the supplemental. It's time these idiot liberals understood that!"

"As another protester joined Richards, Obey continued: "That bill ends the war! If that isn't good enough for you, you're smoking something illegal. You've got your facts screwed up. We can't get the votes! Do you see a magic wand in my pocket? We don't have the votes for it. We do have the votes if you guys quit screwing it up. We do have the votes to end the legal authority for the war, that's the same as de-funding it."

I believe that they will not provide a clean bill by April 15. We are going to have some sort of showdown with the WH providing some concessions in order to get the funding.

I hereby authorize every Freeper to count the days our troops are held hostage by the Democrats, use it in your tag lines and postings.

Maybe Fox News and Sean H. will use it too.

Take no moonbat prisoners!

THIS is when the President is at his best.

He has to keep it up, however. One good four minute rant delivered on a Friday afternoon will not suffice.
