This is going to get very ugly.
“Going to”?? :*(
This political game of ‘chicken’ between the Dems in Congress and the President is going to have very deadly consequences for our brave troops—and every drop of our military’s blood spilled by this postponement of funds will be on the Dems’ hands. >:-(
Yes, it is (unless Bush caves in order to set a new tone, in which case it'll get even uglier in real terms).
The Democrats won't give up on this, they can't, they've set their course and their base will not let them back off without punishment.
We're locked in a spiral down that leads only to internal conflict...because the Democrats think it more important to destroy their internal opposition than it is to preserve the honor, integrity and security of their nation.
