Democrats’ timetable clears Senate

Senate Democrats yesterday thwarted a Republican effort to strip a troop withdrawal timetable from the Iraq war funding bill — speeding Congress toward a veto showdown with President Bush.

“We are not going to back down from the essential language in this bill,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, said of the mandate that a troop pullout start almost immediately with the goal of a complete exit by next March.

OK. Can ANYONE seriously doubt that Reid, and the rest of the Donks pushing this are working to engineer the Munich (1938 appeasement agreement with Hitler) of the 21st century? This would firmly crown the Donks as the surrender party of all time, after what they did in Viet-nam, and now this.

FDR, Truman, and Sen. “Scoop” Jackson must be restless in their graves.
