Senate Republicans bar Iraq withdrawal plan — Reuters

Here is another article about how it’s all the Republicans fault we’re still in Iraq, and a very quick analysis of why it’s actually more the Democrats “fault.”

Despite passionate appeals by Democrats, who noted that 2007 had been the deadliest year for U.S. troops in Iraq so far, Republicans stopped the proposal that had passed the House of Representatives on a largely partisan vote on Wednesday.

[…]

The bill would have given President George W. Bush about a quarter of the $196 billion he wants for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in fiscal 2008, while setting a goal that all U.S. combat soldiers withdraw from Iraq by December 15, 2008.

“What will it take to end this war? How many lives, how many limbs, how many broken families, how many innocent victims?” the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin of Illinois, asked. Over 850 U.S. soldiers have died this year.

Senator Durbin asked, “[w]hat will it it take to end this war?” Senator, simply don’t fund it at all. Right now, the war effort receives zero (0) dollars unless you, and the other Democrats in power, fund it.

Democrats have tried repeatedly to limit the war this year, and Republicans promised to keep blocking their attempts.

Democrats can do more than limit the war, they can end it by not voting on ANY more money. This article is another magic trick done by the mainstream media to make you think it’s all the Republicans fault that we are in Iraq, but Democrats control both Houses of Congress. This war could be over before you could say “Saddam’s rape rooms” if the Democrats wanted to end the war. Thus, I think it’s very plain that the Democrats are continuing to play magic tricks on the voters. “Just don’t pay attention to the elephant jackass in the room.”
