Michael Collins: Bending Over For Bush

Bending Over For Bush



21 War Loving Senate Democrats
Give Bush $165 Billion for More War


Michael Collins
"Scoop" Independent News
Washington, D.C.


It is now their war. Iraq has been and will be the war of every Senator and Representative who funds the madness.


Democratic Senators voting more
funding for the Bush-Cheney war.

Snip

Why would they do that? Because their president asked them to:
"The United States Congress needs to pass a responsible war funding bill that does not tie the hands of our commanders," Bush said. Reuters May 22, 2008
But wait. Weren't the Democrats swept into control of both houses of Congress in 2006 in order to obey the public will by getting us out of Iraq? Didn't they promise to stand up to the insanity of providing more money for a war that gets us into more trouble simply through its continuation?

We've come to expect this out of the lock-step Republicans who are "made men" in the culture of death. Weren't the Democrats supposed to make a difference?
