End fake politics: It is time to bring our troops home to safety, with honor

The War in Iraq will continue, if the Democratic led congress fail to stand up to President Bush. Without cutting off funding, be it today or March 2008, Bush can and will continue to mislead us thru his term and into the next presidents term.

End fake politics: It is time to bring our troops home to safety, with honor

The American people want this war to end and the troops to be brought home. Why then is this house preparing to capitulate to the Bush White house and let the war continue?

We learned today that the democratic compromise with President Bush is to make withdrawal timetables "non-binding" (meaningless). We have the power to end the occupation now. It is time support our troops by bringing them home by enacting HR1234, the most comprehensive plan to secure Iraq and stabilize the region.

US presence in Iraq is fueling the insurgency. High level officials estimate the HR1234 transition of US, out international peace keeping and security forces in, is possible within three months of Congress cutting funds.

Yet, this house passed a $97 billion supplemental which gives the president money to keep the war going until at least September of 2008. One week later this house approved President Bush's budget for another $195 billion to keep the war going into 2009.

... And now the Democratic leadership are talking about a non-binding timetable for withdrawal?

What is the difference between democrats and republicans on the war? Republicans want no timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. Democrats want a “non-binding” (meaningless) timetable for withdrawal. It's all fake. They are playing politics while our brave men and women are caught in an impossible situation, their very presence fueling the insurgency in Iraq.

It it time for leadership of clarity, courage and integrity.

It is time to bring our troops home to safety, with honor.
