Sometimes it's necessary though to get rid of a problem (Bush).
so you would cut the military budget to get rid of someone who will only go when his term expires...while in the mean time forcing the military to shed jobs meaning that troops who have either served their time in iraq or are currently there, people who have seen their friends killed and seen other injured or been injured themselves, will be put out of work...
just to make a point against Bush...which wont actually have any effect at getting rid of him...which would have been the initial reason?
am i getting that right?

No, the vast majority of Americans want the war over. And I am sure they would rather have people out of work then killed in a foreign land over a pointless war.

No the idea of North American politics is that through voting the will of the majority is carried out. They voted the democrats into the house to stop the war, they should follow the will of the people on that.

They do what they want to do, and cutting the funds and bring the troops home is not what they want to do. What they want is power.

I was watching CNN today and there was Nancy Pelosi talking about how the house needs to work WITH the white house. What is wrong with her? What they need to do is cut all funding and bring the troops home. Also she talked about instead of cutting the funding, just managing it more and instead of pulling out the troops she wants to change the nature of their mission to other areas.This is what is wrong with the Democrats and I am a left wing person myself in ideology. But do they not realize that cutting the funding for the war is a win/win for them? Not only would they look strong by over-ruling the republicans. But also most of America wants the war over and this is what they were voted in to do.
All I can say is this is just another big let down from the spineless Democrats.
True.

Come back when you can counter points with more then sarcasm.
come back when you learn to use "then" and "than" appropriately as well as which countries are involved in this war as well as the difference between an act of congress/house and elections.

cutting the funding isn't going to make the war over though is it?
you cut the money from something...its the people that get fired (no pun intended) first
infact you put those who are left at ever greater risk by cutting funding

Bush and the Republicans are the ones putting them at risk. And if we lost a few in the pull out it's better then continuing to rack up a larger body count by staying there.
