They need to be united against the war on every vote. If they manage to cut funding, they have the money already passed by the Senate to get them all home.
We get the war well into the next president the way things are going. Why? Because people who vote for republicans are idiots (not to generalize), and people that don't aren't united. I'm not a Democrat, but I'm backing Kucinich... a Democrat! Why? Because he has the balls and the hot wife to get things done. If people stopped marginalizing him for 5 seconds, he could bring about serious positive change including but not limited to possibly ending the war. And he's not alone. There are good Democrat senators out there. The problem is that many of the Dem senators are cowards, and the party is a mess.
What ended the Vietnam War? The war that was supposed to be never ending? Protests, Pentagon Papers, soldiers breaking down, and National Guardsmen firing on and killing students. We've already got all that. We've got massive national and international protests, we've got Downing Street Memos, we've got soldiers coming back seriously fucked up... do we really need to murder protesters in cold blood to finish this damn thing?
