Once again, Congress is going try to pass an appropriations bill that will require we begin pulling troops out of Iraq. These bills are sure to either fail or be vetoed. In either event, they are meaningless. They are nothing but the leadership pandering to their wacko left purse strings.
After ten months, Congress has done little more than show the far left that they are in complete submission. They have not sent a single responsible appropriations bill of any kind to the President. They have failed our troops by neglecting proper funding. They have spent more time on hearings producing little more than headlines for the New York Times.
So, I have come to the conclusion that, based on the requirements the Pelosi/Reid Congress has put on Baghdad, it is time we pull out of Washington due to their failure to meet several key benchmarks of success. There has been no improvement, nothing but bickering and little chance of compromise and reconciliation. We must get our nation out of this horrible drain on our economy.
A point to consider is the fact that our Congress currently has the lowest approval rating of all time. Their rating is lower than that of the President, which caused them to suggest that America wants a change of course, yet they can't take a hint. In fact, more Iraqis approve of our troops and their government than Americans approve of our current Socialist leadership in Congress.
Last election, they asked for a chance to make a difference. They have had their chance. It is time for them to go.
