As a liberal with friends in Iraq, I don't want them to be underfunded while they're at war. The idea is to cut funding to get them home, but what if the bluff is called? What if they insist on keeping them in Iraq despite a cut in funding? That's a massive risk with our troops safety. That is where the divide in the liberal strategy lies. We want to end the war, but we also recognize the amazing sacrifice of our troops and we want them to be safe.
The best way to end the war is to push decent legislation about ending the war through the Senate and to get BIG support. The idea is to bypass the veto-machine in the oval office.
