The only thing Congress can do is cut off funding. The problem is Bush is (1) already deploying more troops to Iraq now and (2) he can draw on the Pentagon budget for a while, brow-beating the Dems when the supplementary funding bills come up.
Their only constitutional option has become more complicated. I for one would prefer they just cut him off at the knees and take their lumps, but I know there are implications of that we can't even begin to understand.
Keeping Iraq alive in the press is good strategy and it is working with the public turning against the war in droves. This will provide fertile ground for consideration of impeachment in the upcoming investigations, impeachment another method of getting the hell out of Iraq.
This sticky business is much more complicated than some seem to understand and that is certainly true in the blaming of one person, in this case HRC, for the fiasco and its solution.
