"continued militarization of the United States", with idiots like him in Congress, we'll be lucky if ALL we're left with are our BB guns. How the hell does he think this country will protect itself?!?! I guess I'll start putting money aside for my son's body armor, weapon, ammunition, etc., just in case his unit gets called back to Iraq.

They were playing clips of his tirade during the hourly ABCNews-breaks.

Absolutely hilarious. I love Dennis... you can always count on him to be very blatant and obvious in his liberalism. I think it helps us AND I do respect the testicular fortitude to actually BE liberal in public and not camouflage it with "progressive" and "a new direction"... he goes all out.

This is the man that wants to change the name of the Dept. of Defense to the Dept. of Peace. What a maroon!

The Dems will vote for this at their peril. This isn't the 70's. Disagreeing with the President's policy is one thing, but cutting off funds and leaving the troops twisting in the wind would be political suicide. I would invite that, but it would hurt the troops in the process. I can't pull a Dem tactic and hope failure to gain political points.

"Congressman Kucinich called Wednesday for cutting off funding of the Iraq war, as the surest way out of Iraq."

They only real surprise here is that he waited all of 8 days after the election to put it out there.

I figured that was the Dems strategy all along.

Except in MA. They're going after them in that state, as well. Really.

Sun Tzu:

"When the enemy advances, we retreat
When the enemy rests, we harass
When the enemy tires, we attack
When the enemy withdraws, we pursue."

This is the enemies mindset in Iraq. Do people really believe that they are going to forget the last line and leave us alone? I'd rather not find out. Stay on the attack!

That guy is pathetic.

No, he's no longer pathetic.

Now he's one of the guys in power.

He is now stopped being pathetic, and started being dangerous.

From the article:

That's the ultimate power of the Congress, the power of the purse.

If Sun Tzu were still around today, I doubt he would fear an enemy who wielded a purse as a weapon.

I wonder if this disgraceful man heard what General Abizaid ssid about the terrorists LISTENING AND WATCHING our media and our politics...and learning from what they see...how to wage the war.

He makes me sick- he's a cowardly bastard.
