After we get the funds for the military and their raise, I say let them manufacture reasons to fight the President. I think it is working in our favor.
I've seen a recent threat by Reid to cut off funding ("you won't agree to a timeline to bring them home we won't pay them") but I can't find the reference right now. If I come across it I'll post. That could be an apocalyptic fight. It might even devolve into calls for violence from one fringe or the other (real or manufactured for political effect).
