Brian,

One of the best things that Congress has done is bring back oversight which it lacked, and which Republicans had destroyed. Republicans have harmed this country in more ways that we can count. They need to be held accountable at every level.

Brian,

Your argument is pure sophistry and you know it.
Once the troops are in the combat zone, one cannot cut off the funding. What are you going to do leave them without bullets. The American people understand that to complete the job they need to boot out the sitting President and not vote for another clone.

I thought the Democratic Congress was going to put an end to the war when voted in. Wasn't that the platform they ran on? Ending the war....seems once in they gave up. What's up with that?

Is Cynthia Smith saying women are transported out of Iraq for their annual check up. Don't men need an annual check up. This is crazy! Pentagon reports that women soldiers are more likely to be raped by their fellow soldiers than killed in Iraq. Maybe we should go back to the policy of no women in combat zones until they get the medical equipment to have their annual checkups and some of our male trooops learn how to behave.

It makes one want to jump of a bridge. The one on KMD is not high enough.
