You can bet that Schumer was in Iraq to see if the country can now sustain itself and pay it’s own way..His concern for troop morale is admirable but that is a smokescreen..His objective in Congress will be to try and cut US funding so he and the other leftists can start using those funds for their cherished social programs..They have to have something to show what they have accomplished before the people vote them out in Nov..because up to now they have accomplished NOTHING and have blocked everything..Looks like early panic mode for the dumRATS and it is only going to get a lot worse for them...

“Looks like early panic mode for the dumRATS and it is only going to get a lot worse for them...”

Nahh.. I got a copy of the RAT playbook. On page 325 it says that when the tide turns against you, take credit for it and use that for your agenda.

Bush said 30k troops will be coming home this summer because of the way the surge has worked. The RATS are going to take credit for it, the MSM will flood the airwaves with it and it is going to start the day Hillary wins the nomination.

And Hillary will kick her movement to the center strategy into high gear.

I agree with your assessment. It’s been about spending priorities all along. The Democrats could care less about our armed forces, and only slightly more about national security.

He's trolling for active soldiers who are there in the thick of it who are willing to say that the surge isn't working so he can "quote" them back on the Senate floor.

BTW, wonder if he got Blackwater protection? Would love to hear how people risked their necks so that he could get his photo ops and sound bites.
