Shame on Congress! They squabble over Perscrition Drugs, Medicare, Headstart and Americorp. And now it looks like the purse strings loosen because the President wants to play War? Is this fiscal responsibility?

They should tell him to bring the Troops back home now or, make due with the money already allocated.

Gee.. it sounds like the Repubican ploy.. don’t say no, just don’t provide funding. LET’S STOP THE FUNDING FOR WAR!

Here’s an interesting idea: the $87 billion request for Iraq could be a trap for Democrats….

Demand accountability and full disclosure only. Pretty hard for those on the right to argue that (and some may actually support it).

Repealing tax cuts and such won’t help the situation in Iraq or the economy and will supply a defense for the Bushies next year. Asking for anything not directly related to this mess in Iraq politicizes the issue too much, and will backfire.

Give ‘em the money, but insist on complete clarity of all monies spent before, during and after. Down to the penny. With regular updates. Release of all pertinent WH documents, Cheney’s Energy transcripts, Wilson fiasco, missing 9/11 pages, WMD reports. All of it. “Go massive. Sweep it all up.”

Speaking of Rumsfeld. He’s the scapegoat. Someone should swing for this and he’s the public face most easily linked to the screwed up operation.

As far as treaties, etc. That’s up to the UN. They should make the US bailout contingent upon Bush signing all pertinent treaties.

It’s win-win for the Dems and UN…
