Americans Backs Dems Over Bush In Iraq Funding Battle
The news media covers the Iraq war funding impasse as if the country was divided 50/50 on the question of whether a timetable for withdrawal or benchmarks for progress should be added to the Iraq war funding legislation.
Yet according to poll numbers just released by CNN, 57 percent support a war funding bill with a withdrawal timetable and 61 percent support a bill with benchmarks instead of a timetable.
Those would be pretty solid majorities that are supporting the Democratic Congress on the war.

And then there's this one grouchy frog who supports a funding bill with a threat: "Sign the f*cking appropriation, timetable and all, or you get no defense appropriation this year at all!"

With Bush's threat to veto any interim funding proposal, he's asking for just that response. I just heard that Moqtada al Sadr has petitioned the Iraqi congress to draw up a timetable for US troops leaving completely, and for the Iraqi military to stand up, as it were. Bush may find he has fewer choices that he had planned on.
Go, Froggy!
Go, Froggy!

Except that the Sadt proposal says troops shouldn't leave until Iraqi forces are ready to take over - that could be years...
