Democrats know that we can't give up on the war on terror, it is too important, they lie in public to appease their liberal base and G. Sorros.

Several reasons, really.
First, the Dems can't get enough votes in Congress to override the presidential veto. If they keep trying, they're only beating a dead horse.
Second, the Dems are worried that the Reps strategy of calling the Dems 'slow bleeders' and all is actually working; thus, they need to 'show they support the troops' with the funding.
Third, sending through this budget shuts up Bush's whines about the troops, so maybe they can get together and discuss this whole withdrawl issue.

for specific, Kucinich is the 1st between resign monkeys, yet Obama is likewise notably firmly in that camp. Hillary is obviously prepared to maintain on with the 'conflict on Terror' in some kind, and that i'd anticipate Biden ought to, as properly (his innovations genuinely look a minimum of fairly available, making him unique between presidential applicants). Edwards would communicate a stable piece, yet I doubt he'd be prepared approximately handing the terrorists a concepts-blowing victory in Iraq or someplace else. Obama genuinely stands a actual risk of having the nomination, so i'd say he's your guy.

The Dems do want to end the involvement of US troops in Iraq's civil war. No one is ignorant enough to think we will not continue to have occupying troops for years to come.
The Dems also cannot pull enough support to over-ride Bush's veto. Sandbox politics from both sides. Time to get over it, and get on with it.
Kuncinich does not have the support of his own party for his Iraq plan or they would be promoting him instead of a warmonger like Cain, or a controversial religious figure like Romney, or someone as liberal as Guiliani.

Because it isn't time to leave yet. If Iraq is to be a sovereign nation, they need to be able to take care of themselves in every way. Bush is now seeing the light about committing to the Iraq study group's evaluation of what it will take to end the war with dignity and expediency.
Diplomacy with Iraq's neighbors, holding Iraq's government accountable to benchmarks for getting their system going, stopping Iraq's government from protecting certain groups of insurgents, training Iraq's army/police, along with the surge is what it will take. The threat of defunding the war is causing a lot of activity in the right direction.
I love this question. I can't believe how stupid people are not to see what is going on here.

They want to force Republicans on the record so they can turn the November 2006 Massacre into a GOP genocide in 2008.

That is perhaps the most enthusiastic surrender I've ever seen. "Not only do we surrender, but we /insist/ on paying war reparations!"
And, I can see why Democrats wouldn't go for it. Even the French (under Chirac - heck, even Vici) would probably balk at it.

Because, the republicans in congress would never support it. The democrats have not made a plan of immediate withdrawel, because the president would immediately veto the bill. So before you sink to the level of chanting names and sinking to that level, learn politics!
