Personally, I hope it fails. First of all, it will have no effect whatsoever on the war, since Bush will veto it even if it gets through the Senate. And then they will bash Bush, but the war will drag on. They are using the war to gain more power for themselves.
I look at it differently. I think they should use their power to stop the war. Stop the funding now.

Bush will have to find the money.

liberals do not agree that Saddam needed to be taken out. Iraq would be much better off if he was still in power.

Everyone hates war, sometimes its necessary, Saddam had to be taken out. ( Even liberals agree! ) Now that it is taken out, do we just leave the people there in shambles and make them even more sore at us? eh, no. Gotta help them, whether you like it or not. Anyway, nevertheless we are still at war til we draw out.

Personally I kind of hope it does pass, AND that the President signs it for them. It will be quite an embarrassment to Congressional backers when the "withdrawal deadline" passes & the troops aren't all home, & the ones remaining are at even greater risk.......(NO I DO NOT want our folks at greater risk!)
It will be tough politically when the deadline passes & the war isn't finished. Just because Congress says so doesn't always make it happen in the real world!!
BTW Longhair , I commend you for following up after your question has received responses!! Too many folks are off to post some other opinion posing as fact. I do question whether Iraq would be better off w Saddam still in power.....I suppose it depends on what segment of the Iraqi people aare queried....

Since it's a non-binding resolution, I don't see the point in wasting the time or the money on the bill.
BTW, to stop funding the war would hurt the troops and give them more trouble then they're already in, to say nothing of being a huge insult to them.

Pelosi knows that bill dos not stand a chance but she is just acting for the Media. Most of the dummycratic leadership only likes to dance for the media and does not get anything done. They are proving how wrong the people were to put them in office.

Fails. So stopping the fundingwill automatically end the war? Right, our troops would be screwed over badly, for starters.

You are correct. It won't get past the Senate, no matter what the Congress does. Funding has to stop in order to stop the war.

I agree stopping the funding is the answer .
It will force them to withdraw the troops .
I can not see bush getting in pissing match with congress and using the troops as leverage .
The will have to be returned home .

Fail.
Because Pelosi is just doing it for the votes. Look at how many illegal aliens are working in her vinyards. She doesn't care about the law, just the votes.

And stopping funding would help? Hmmm. How are all the troops gonna get home, gotta buy their own tickets?

I just wish she would be successful at something that would help the country. Instead she is set on dividing the country, which encourages terrorist.
