That would be funny, but I hope they'll point out that congress is not the ones who are pressing to keeping our troops in Iraq and fighting a losing battle. I hope the Senate and the Congress will give Bush the wake up call he needs. The American People need to have the final say. We taxpapers hold the purse strings which makes the good ol' US of A.
This is a DEMOCRACY George, not a Totalitarian Dictatorship.
Sigh....
:(
Who am I kidding?

Democrats in congress are only guilty of representing his or her districts and states. The Congress did not declare a war--so the real question is; 'how can the president (if you want to call him that) call The Congress irresponsible for pulling funding on a war The Congress did not begin.' At this point, even his own party is not backing him up--so he needs to rephrase this as "Congress is irresponsible" What George Bush fails to realize is that in in this form of government, the people's representatives hold the purse strings--and in some cases it is the only check on the president. Unfortunedly the Congress may not be able to pull of the 'pull-out of iraq' bill they had hoped--because George will most likely veto it. The constitution allowed Congress to have this check in this situation. As it is, this war is far from legitimate. I seriously wouldn't doubt the War Powers Act being repelled after this war. It is giving the president dictatorial powers. No president before this has exercised the power by so much abuse. I think it is not fair that Pres. Bush can shift the blame of HIS war onto the Congress by putting them in the spotlight for them withdrawing money from a dying cause. In my opinion this would be the same for any other non-sensual project in the united states, such as a government program that is wasting money--showing no good results. In that same situation, congress would still withdraw money. And on another note--you have to imagine the amount of money it is costing to fund this war--last time i heard the next bill would be well over 100 billion dollars. As a non-home-owner--the thought of how much of that could go to young adults as a government program to fund new-home-buyers, or even young and middle aged adults to graduate from college makes me nausiated. The congress, Not just Democrats are being responsble to the constuitents they represent.

This is the man who runs up record deficits, can't save a city in HIS OWN country, much less in Iraq, drafts one of the worst throwbacks to the Alien and Sedition Acts, wait no, TWO of them, and the Democrats are the irresponsible ones?! George W. Bush has lost all touch with reality it would seem.

They are irresponsible. Why would you stop funding? Now our soldiers will be getting one meal a day and no medical care. In a year or so, the death rate will go up, and everybody will see they cant blame Bush anymore, but rather the radicals ruling them. The Democrats.

Bush thinks he can get awayagain with his lies by using the same old tactics the did in pushing the war on Iraq in 2003. How many Americans will fall for his trickery as they had fone in 2003, eh?
Just got myself a copy of Peter Eisner's "The Italian Letter: How the Bush Administration Used a Fake Letter to Build the Case for War in Iraq". This book ought to be read by all here in America:
http://www.amazon.com/Italian-Letter-Bush-Administration-Build/dp/1594865736
Bush and his Mobsters faked info; they sent out "noise-makers" to creat faux-jounalism and lies, instigated fear and turned Americans against those telling the truth to get us into the Iraq War. Now he's doing the same to get our Troops stuck in Iraq. It's a wonder that so many of those noise-makers voicing out on behalf of him seem to have disappeared from status. One by one, even those white House Press Secretaries, like Ari Fleischer, Scott McCellan and now, Tony Snow, have gradually waned away or have developed some ill fate. People who lie and caused deaths to the innocents need to answer to God Almighty and can't escape their ill destiny!
For Christ's sake, Iraq can be led to peace only if its neighbors put their hearts and soul into ironing out the problems. We are only in Iraq to help Bush and his Iraq War Conspirators secure all the oil wealth, etc. that they had initially planned to seize. Bush and his Conspirators will never give up until they grab what they originally set out to steal from Iraq. And he is using members of our American Troops for his and his corrupted cohorts' personal interests, not America's!
Afghanistan is our problem, not iraq. It was the Al-Quedas who destroyed our WTO and killed 3000 Americans, not Saddam's people.

because of fact a spending invoice is exactly that, a invoice appropriating funds. Congress has no skill to dictate how a conflict is waged. they might in ordinary terms gove a President the main appropriate to salary conflict, (which they have). Congress has the main appropriate to no longer fund the conflict, or to fund it. they don't have the main appropriate to dictate the phrases of the conflict.

I would say invading an ustable country with no reason, then executing the only person who could control it was pretty irresponsible....

The Dems are irresponsible on Iraq. Trying to end the war prematurely is very irresponsible. It's a legitimate war and Congress needs to give the troops what they need to win the war and that is FUNDING.
