The congress knows this, the white house knows this....and very likely you know it as well.
This is no test.....its a given.

You seem to ignore the fact that the American public no longer supports our military being in Iraq and even more don't support a troop increase. The majority in Congress does not support us being in Iraq and even more don't support a troop increase. Are you saying that is not as it seems? I have simply concluded that those who voted for the war, voted to fund the war, voted to approve a general who supports Bush's plan, but continually take shots at Bush's plan are full of BS and are playing games while our military is at risk. imho, that is shameful and I think we should call them on it.
Also, who cares if the "republican machine" puts up a fight and trys to rip opponents to shreds? Are you suggesting the people who oppose our being in Iraq are cowards? That they are not willing to fight for what they believe in because of the risk? If they are cowards or fearful of the consequences, again shame on them.
