Do you favor cutting the funding for the Iraq war

[Boris]

You're kidding yourself if the congressional Democrats have the guts to do something like this. They a) would fear the backlash and the GOP spin (which is very good) and b) would have a hard time uniting all Democrats over a resolution. Why do you think they're wasting their time with meaningless non-binding resolutions?

BTW, I voted no (Proud Spineless Democrat). It's too risky and there's too much potential for a large political backlash, the worst of which could include GOP retainment of the White House and congressional gains in 2008. If the President doesn't back down, then the Democrats would have no choice but to reinstate funding (or impeach him, but they don't have the numbers for that), unless they want more troops to die at a faster rate.

We simply do not have the power to affect foreign policy at this time. With luck, that will change in 23 months.
