Surrendie demanded that he be included today, and, since his teeth are rather sharp and he has been known to fling poo, I decided to aquiesce to his request

House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) told Cybercast News Service on Tuesday he will move to end the Iraq War with an immediate termination of funding if a Democrat becomes president next year.

“I will move to cut funding immediately,” said Frank. “I have already done that. I voted against the war and voted to cut the funding. I would hope a Democratic president would put in place a plan that would begin a total withdrawal.”

So far, neither of the Democratic presidential candidates, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, has been willing to unambiguously commit to a plan to remove all U.S. troops from Iraq by 2013.

Look, there have obviously been problems with Operation Iraqi Freedom. Some were ones that should have been known about, some are simply Monday morning quarterbacking, with some of those falling in the category of seeing Eli Manning overthrowing the recievers for over a season till his mechanics were finally fixed. Regardless, we are there. We are very close to achieving the post war objectives. Did you know that one of the Surge brigades is being withdrawn? This would be the 3rd one, and it is due to progress.

The Democrats are basically taking the position of Al Qaeda and the hard core Arabs: run away, America, run away. Democrats prefer a weak and demeaned America. They, like so many around the world, want America reduced. But, who do they think will fill the power vacuum?
