What's Demorats excuse for not revoking Iraq War Resolution?

[yurbud]

While I strongly disagree with them giving Bush a blank check on funding, I can at least understand the political calculus if they are truly concerned about ending the war.

Bush would leave our troops there, let them fight to the last bullet, then blame the Democrats when they are slaughtered.

What I don't understand is why they don't just revoke the Iraq War Resolution. Dianne Feinstein proposed a bill like that, full of loopholes about fighting al Qaeda and other bullshit, but the basic premise is there--but she didn't put the deadline until next January.

What is their excuse for not doing this NOW?

1. Bush could never do that. The military would never allow it. Get real. nt

[yurbud]

2. He would try and blame any mutiny on Democrats.

[EFerrari]

4. The MIC wouldn't allow it. And sure, he would try to blame Dems

but that's just SOP.

7. Then Democrats should claim responsibility!

LANDSLIDE!!

3. Revocation can be vetoed.

And filibustered.

And Bush can call them names.

5. What is your excuse for referring to democrats as 'demorats'

I agree with your question about the IWR, but your use of terminology is insulting and quite frankly, something one would expect to see at freeperville, rather than DU.

6. typo?

I just inadvertently asked a pal to pass on my "hop" for a successful operation to avoid toe amputation.

10. LOL, I "hop" that's all it was

I wondered that, too, after I posted.

9. typo or freudian slip, but definitely not intentional

11. Right on, thanks for the clarification. n/t

12. looking at your Obama bumper sticker, he should make the donut his symbol

them whenever someone ate a donut in public, republicans would think they are Obamites.

14. Nah, the trans fat thing wouldn't work out in the health conscious pc world

Frisbees, perhaps. :P

[wtmusic]

8. Um, because it would be an embarrassingly empty gesture?

Did I win? :shrug:

13. Some do not support ending the war.
