“Senate Dems reluctant to try.”

Fixed.

Philippe Reines, press secretary for Clinton, said that the senator is seeking “any and all possible ways” to reverse the current course in Iraq.

She's scared to death of angering the Commie MoveOn.org crowd.

Shut up, just shut up!

Why can’t the Congress just shut up, for one minute, one day, one month?

We could be out sooner if they would just shut up!

(obviously they don’t want to be out soon, or they would not give aid and comfort by their refusal to shut up!)

The Hill has now caught up with what I have been saying and writing for weeks now. Withdrawing the "authorization for the use of military force" requires only a majority vote of both Houses of Congress. It cannot be vetoed.

On paper, the Democrats could do this. The fact that they do not even try, demonstrates -- if any demonstration be needed -- that the Democrats are hypocrites. This is proof that they do not mean what they say in their anti-war rants.

The Dims painted themselves into a corner for the last election..."Vote for me and I'll end the war." Now, the peaceniks want their payday, and the Dims in Congress found out they would have to actiually back up their promise.

The mistake they made, was they brought it up 2 years too early.

What a useless bunch of clowns the dems are. Well, worse than useless; they’re anti-American, anti-military, and anti-victory.

“I don’t think we should waste our time on that,” said Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), a vocal opponent of the war. “That’s not going to change anything.”

Why should that matter? Nothing you have done this session has changed anything anyway. You have wasted your time and ours with your non-binding Senate agenda.

Senate Dems reluctant to try to revoke Iraq war authority

Of course, such a bill could be vetoed. It would take super majority to pass it, and even with RINO help, they don't have that. However just not passing the supplemental appropriation for the war would not be subject to veto. The President can't veto what is never passed. That's what Hillary is really calling for.

“We would wind up authorizing what we have now — so it’s complicated,” Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.)

Cary is hoping Markos will buy that garbage. He'll need the kos kids in his korner for re-election this time.

The Dems do not have the cullions to defund the war in Iraq. Such a move would permanently attach the disaster that would immediately result in Iraq to them and allow no room to shift blame to Bush.
