8. this STILL fails to address an "Exit Strategy"
fine, take yet another vote that DOES NOT address the issue of when the madness will end.

it's time to bring the troops home. if Hillary's DO OVER vote does not pass, then what? Zero funding? 3 months of funding? 6 months? permanent bases? no permanent bases? Big Oil gets their Oil Law? Hillary adds language to guarantee that Iraqi oil only can be used for the benefit of the Iraqi people? all offensive operations have to cease IMMEDIATELY? bring the troops home as quickly as their safety allows with no other conditions? we leave a "residual" force to carry on an unauthorized war? no residual force?

the point is that a symbolic vote at this late stage of the process is tokenism. leadership demands that all of the above questions get resolved NOW. the issue is funding. CUT OFF FUNDS FOR CONTINUED OFFENSIVE OPERATIONS AND BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW.

Hillary's DO OVER is just more politics. It accomplishes nothing and ducks the real issues. If she hadn't voted for the war in the first place, maybe she wouldn't need legislation to undue her tragic mistake.
