That suggests that there are people who do. When I look back over the past 8 years with Chaney, it seems to me that he took Democratic party leaders by surprise, even though he wrote the book on executive power. Chaney pretty much did what he wanted, concentrated more power in the WH, gave Congress a big "FU", and got away with it.

So, when he leaves all will be o.k. Bush was the reason Congress voted to go to war. Bush was the reason Congress authorized the spending that lead to deficits. Bush wrote the legislation that let Fannie and Freddie go under. Etc.Etc.Etc.

Nothing. But it seems you don't get the point. We will withdraw with victory, on our terms, when we want based on conditions. Artificial timeframes fail to recognize the complexities of war.
