Who Will Stop the U.S. Shadow Army in Iraq?

Question

.
Don't look to the congressional Democrats

The Democratic leadership in Congress is once again gearing up for a great sellout on the Iraq war. While the wrangling over the $124 billion Iraq supplemental spending bill is being headlined in the media as a "showdown" or "war" with the White House, it is hardly that. In plain terms, despite the impassioned sentiments of the antiwar electorate that brought the Democrats to power last November, the congressional leadership has made clear its intention to keep funding the Iraq occupation. For months, the Democrats' "withdrawal" plan has come under fire from opponents of the occupation who say it doesn't stop the war, doesn't defund it, and ensures that tens of thousands of U.S. troops will remain in Iraq beyond President Bush's second term.

"Lawmakers said they expect that Congress and Mr. Bush would eventually agree on a spending measure without the specific timetable" for (partial) withdrawal, which the White House has said would "guarantee defeat." In other words, the appearance of a fierce debate this week, presidential veto and all, has largely been a show with a predictable outcome.

Answer 1

Wow! I'm part of a "shadow army?" No one told me. It sounds so spooky and mysterious. Anyway, what the Dems are doing is what they've always done. Tell you what you want to hear and then do something else. Don't feel bad, Repubs have done the same. That's why the country stays roughly in the middle.
