I hold out little optimism that Congress will draw a line in the sand this time which would make this next 50 billion contingent on a withdrawal time-line. So many of us in so many ways over the months and years have demanded an end to this madness, only to be repeatedly disappointed (save the for the likes of Kucinich and Feingold).
At the very least, there is talk that Dems on The Hill may attach certain "strings" to the funding. We did that in May - that is probably what will happen with the vote later this month. Any concession short of beginning to bring our troops home is another failure; though in anticipation of that, a question...
What strings do you recommend we ask for in exchange for another hefty check for Shrub's immoral war?
