NYTimes: Democrats are going to provide bu$h* with Iraq funding....again..without withdrawals

without strings attached....

~snip~
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats controlling Congress sent the most explicit signals yet on Thursday that they are resigned to providing additional funding for the war in Iraq before Congress adjourns for the year.

Conceding that President Bush is in a strong position as Congress seeks to wrap up its work, Democrats are cooking up a pre-Christmas endgame that would deliver tens of billions of dollars for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan on conditions acceptable to the White House.

The Iraq funding would ultimately be attached by Bush's Senate GOP allies to a $500 billion-plus ''omnibus'' appropriations bill taking shape in closed-door talks. That's the only way they would let the measure advance through the Senate.

House Democratic leaders, though hardly enthusiastic about the idea, recognize it is the only way for Democrats to have a chance to wrap up their long-unfinished budget work and adjourn just before Christmas.

''I anticipate at some point in time that will be the case,'' said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., when asked if Congress would ultimately vote on Iraq funding without a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops.

but that does not mean that this thuggish regime we have won't pull something even more sinister.

go have yourself some happy holidays at the expense of American lives and taxpayers money but kids will still go without healthcare and go hungry.

business as usual...and America's business is death

"or not...it doesn't matter. Now hand over the wallet and we can all go home."

their work well. The blue dog dems will have their way. Those are the ones that have to lose along with republicans in order to get the country back on track. They are bastards.

The people who are sick of funding this fucked up illegal war or...

are they for the parents and spouses of Iraqis and American troops who have to bury their loved ones way too soon?


Snark is so 2004.

To wish to themselves, and occasionally aloud, that their constituents would be swept up and arrested, the filthy vagrants.

To protect their position, power, privilege, and make sure their kids enter the aristocracy.

And I begin to speculate: To enable the Bushies to carry out their Totalitarian Evil Plans because the Bushies know how to handle peasants when we get restless.

HINT: Shoot us.

i'm so sick of them all.
