Tomorrow and Tomorrow

It looks like the Democratic Congressional leadership is offering a toothless Iraq War funding bill to El Presidente, essentially folding, at least for now.

Per Sen. Russell Feingold (D-WI):

This is no time to back down. This fight to end the war isn’t something that we can just put off or kick down the road. As mcjoan pointed out, it doesn’t make any sense to wait until this "mythical September" when Republicans will suddenly decide that we need to get out of Iraq. Why should this wait until September? First Americans had to put up with a Republican Congress that did nothing, and now we are faced with a Democratic Congress that is giving the President exactly what he wants – continuing his failed policy and leaving our troops stuck in the middle of a civil war. Some strategy. We can’t back down when the stakes are so high. I know you’ll keep ratcheting up the pressure, and that’s exactly what we need right now. Now is the time to be pulling out all the stops to end the war.

Even Nancy Pelosi will vote against this, so the results may be more interesting than today's new portends.

Some might say, give the Republicans their war if they want it. I fear it emboldens Bush/Cheney to up the world danger quotient like this.

I think only this man can save America.
