MORE THAN 1/2 OF AMERICANS WANT CONGRESS TO CUT FUNDING (CBS POLL)

"But more than half of Americans � including most Democrats � want Congress to cut off the money for the troop buildup, including a small number who want to cut funds for the entire war."

2. Biden said they tried that with Vietnam and it didn't work.

They would have to defund the entire government. Bush has other budgets to scavenge. He diverted NOLA's levee fortification money to Iraq. To stop the war by defunding it they would have to shut down the entire government. Even then Bush would probably resort to Sun Tzu. "Never feed your army a third time."

3. I'm Not Sold On The Pragmatics Of The Concept Either

But I was pleasantly surprised that enough people (a majority!) were informed enough to answer the question. It's a pretty amazing piece of data actually, IMO.
