As I type, the 110th Congress prepares to knuckle under to the Bush Regime and draft new legislation to fund the continuing Iraq occupation, sans any kind of timetable for U.S. troops to withdraw. Evidently Reid, Pelosi & Co. would rather not spend the summer doing the cajoling and arm-twisting, coupled with growing public support for withdrawal, that could bring them within sight of the veto-proof majority they need—or, more importantly, being bashed by Junior Bush and his Karl Rove-directed GOP goon squad for not "supporting the troops."
Now comes word that not only are they not convincing enough Republicans to vote for an end to this fiasco, but some of their own members have either lost heart or forgotten why their party was given control of Congress last fall, and are voting with the GOP! Talk about a sudden case of localized osteoporosis...in the backbone.
