The Democrats have decided to roll the dice, funding the war thinking they'll win the election without having to face charges of "surrendering" in Iraq, it's a tremendous gamble as we are clearly headed for economic ruin in our quest to militarily dominate the world with only 5% of the world's population and an economy being hollowed out by fiscal insanity and outsourcing our industrial base in search of larger short term profits.
The GOP is clearly delusional and if this country had an educated and engaged citizenry would never again gain power; it's a 50-50 toss up though, with the sheeple who pass themselves off as Americans.
