Everybody's Crazy

Except me and you, and I'm not so sure about you.

Nancy Pelosi says that, when the President vetoes the anti-surge bill the Democrats will do the most principled thing they can think of: nothing. Why? Because they won't be put in the position of "not supporting" the troops by cutting off funding for the escalation.

Gee, that's funny: it seems to me that the way to show support for troops fighting an unpopular, illegal war, and bearing in mind those same troops don't, in the main, want to be in Iraq in the first place, is to CUT OFF funding so they have to be brought home.

Supporting them means protecting them. Protecting them means bringing them home and punishing the ineptards that put them there in the first place.

Supporting the troops does not mean sending more of them to die. Ass.
