If the Democrats want to vote to cut off funding for the troops, let them explain it to the American people.

They will throw a party and everyone will come for the free food and drink. With a majority of Americans on the government dole and payroll, it really is all about government largesse with the treasury. To put it another way, the battle cry has become, “We don’t need no stinking war! Party on!”

There's really not too much to explain about it. Anyone with half a brain knows perfectly well what it means. It means "withdrawal time". Nothing more simpler than that. That's what Congress does, in its Constitutionally-granted powers -- the power of the "purse string". Thus, if a President wants to fight a war, and the Congress does not think that he should, they have the ability and the power to cut off the money in order to defund the war and force the troops home. That's exactly what is going to be happening.

So, as a result of that, look for the withdrawals to begin around election time.
