should the Democrats refuse to fund the war?
I originally was against cutting off funding, but am starting to think it is the only way that Bush will ever change course and listen to the American people.

wingshooter...actually, one of the things they said when taking over powere is that they would not defund the troops.

They have done exactly what they said they would do. In September they may push more for bringing troops home. If Bush doesn't budge, I don't suppose he will, they may have to do it anyway. He will veto the bill and maybe we will get the Republicans to join the Democrats in overriding the veto. Otherwise we are still in the Republican's war.
Of course, Bush could go along and then blame the War CZAR if anything goes wrong and take credit if things go well, calling the war czar irrelevant as he did Bin Laden.

What does a September date have to do with it.
The added personnel that constitute the "Surge" have only just arrived.
Their mission just started.
A timetable of any legitimacy as only begun and two months is nothing in such a theater of war.
Give it until all the various targets set forth in the program have been accomplished and THEN evaluate the results.
What IDIOT said September is a deadline anyway? The MEDIA? Some anti-war Pelosy type that has NO idea about how to conduct a war???

Of course they will.
If he ordered all Americans to jump off a cliff, they would follow him 100% and come up with some stupid reason why the American people should do it too.
That analogy is basically what is happening, and what will continue to happen.
If it comes down to that, I think we should consider cutting funding for the war.
It might not hurt too much to wait to see if a Democrat gets elected in '08, then we could think it through, instead of having a precipitious withdrawal.

The course of the War is not his to change, it's beyond that and shouldn't the Democraps defund the war anyway, that's what they campaigned on and then didn't do!

You've been reading way too many BS articles from the liberal media and they almost always lie.
