2 Million Ghosts Are Wailing in Asia
US House rebukes Bush over new Iraq strategy - Yahoo! News
A total of 246 of the current 434 House members supported the motion, which says "Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 10, 2007" to send an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq.
It adds that "Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States armed forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq."
So, in real terms, the resolution means exactly NOTHING. But it is a genuflection to the Anti-War crowd, that the Democrat party feels in responsbile for putting them into power.
Friday's vote finally gives voice to US voters who swept the Democratic Party to power in both chambers of Congress in November elections amid a wave of anger over the Iraq war.
The left wing of the Democratic Party as well as a Democratic presidential contender for the 2008 election, former senator John Edwards, have been pushing Congress to cut war funding.So far, the Democratic establishment has signaled its reluctance to cut funds for the US troops already deployed in Iraq.
But Jack Murtha, chairman of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee and one of the fiercest critics of the Iraq war, has announced he would condition the release of additional funds in a way that would hamper future troop deployments.
This is almost exactly what happened in Viet Nam. The Anti-War Democrat crowd took control, and cut off all aid for South Viet Nam.
The result that time was a Domino effect of Southeast Asian nations falling to Communist aggression, and well over 2 Million dead.
What will the butchers bill be for the Middle East?
UPDATE: Must read at Big Lizards. Dafydd has the low-down on the Democrat plan to lose the war in Iraq…

Neglecting of course we didn’t belong there in the first place and helped to cereate the bloodbath by stretching out the conflict…
But really… "Friday’s vote finally gives voice to US voters who swept the Democratic Party to power in both chambers of Congress in November elections amid a wave of anger over the Iraq war."
What pure bullshit. Gives them voice? It gives them the finger…
Maybe they will pull their heads out yet and take away mad king George’s purse, but I doubt it. Downright affirming, it is. The Dems have already gone corrupt. There are no good politicians in our Federal government…

1) The Communists had proven in the 1920s and 30s that they were more than happy to slaughter their populations., THat WAS one of the reasons we got involved in SE Asia. What we should NOT have done was let the politicians lose a war, where we had won EVERY major battle, destroyed the Viet Cong completely, and neutilized the NVA, through cowardice and a failuire to back up our allies. Hmmm. Sounds a lot like Rep. Murtha’s plans for Iraq…
2) After the leadership positions for the Democrat perty in Congress were names, you had DOUBTS about their corruption? At least the Republicans have the decency to ACT ashamed when they are caught in a scandal. Democrats get Chairmanships…
