Won't that give the Democrats the opening they need to argue that Bush is unreasonable and out of touch with reality, and Congress has to cut off funding for the war?

more innocents will die, including soldiers (i dont care if anyone says they are a volunteer force this is an illegal war) and dubya will probably just land his face on some coin or something to piss people off for the rest of their lives. this will turn out to be a giant mess when they send all our troops over their, there is no one left to send...soldiers who have been in for only four years are going on their third tour to Iraq within my husbands unit...this is such crap, all of it.
no i am not disrespecting my husband or his unit or any other soldier...my husband feels this way and dosnt want to go and the basic morale in his unit is along the same lines except for the young soldiers who are young dum and full of ***. once they get there their experiences change their minds forever.

The surge won't fail. I'm already seeing success.
Bush isn't going to just decide to send a surge. That information had to come from when SECDEF Gates was in Iraq.
I guess the other side of this would be, "What if the surge succeeds after bush ignored the Democrats? Will that give the Republicans the opening they need to make show that the Democrats are out of touch with what is going on in the world?

I doubt anything will be this clear-cut. We are talking about a bunch of professional politicians here.
I am pretty sure that Congress will screw the Democratic chance in 2008 if they cut off funding for the war. Would only lead to troop massacre.
More likely the President will cave and bring home the troops. Hope Pat is wrong on his prediction.

There are two ways to look at this:
1) Bush works with the democrats and our system actually recovers from these last 6 years. In which case, I will be more open-minded when I vote in 2008.
2) Bush blows off the democrats and the system accomplishes absolutely nothing in the next two years. In which case, I vote democrat, even if I have to vote for the slime Hillary.

I don't think the democrats need an opening to argue about Bush being out of touch with reality.
what idiot has ever replaced his military leaders when they are doing as well in a war as Bush claimed we were doing in Iraq??
can you think of one other than Bush??
all i have to say, is if Pat roberts was right about a terrorist attack in the USA, we need the troops here at home to guard against something like that!

Bush will ignore the Dems.
The surge will fail.
Then Bush will send more soldiers to their deaths. And again.

Congress cannot completely cut off funding. The war will wind down eventually one way or the other. What will happen? More people will die.

Why would he listen to the democrats? He is in charge and takes advice from his generals and others who know something about military operations. Palozziiiii is an idiot on the subject. She can only give advice on face lifts. She has experience in that field.
