26. Then it's also a LIE to assert that just refusing a funding request
would automatically cause Bush to end his occupation and withdraw. It's an unproven assertion.

If Democrats did manage to adopt the 'no vote' approach, they would have absolutely NO control over what Bush would do next to maintain his deployment. They have absolutely NO control over where the shortfalls would occur. Who knows how Bush would respond?

That's why some think it's imperative that there be some legislation which mandates a withdraw by the force of law. That's not propaganda, it's a different point of view.
