So you justify voting for funding the war but not voting for a variety of options including military action.

Because you believe this nation would accept Bush's story of abandoning our troops because the Democrats are meanies.

Which, naturally, is the best reason for a war opposer NOT to take a stand. At the only opportunity he has to take a stand: when a funding vote comes up.

Did Hillary "blow it" when she voted for IWR? Hell, yes. I have never said otherwise. But you shouldn't have tried to justify Obama's all talk no action on the war at the same time.

That man is way too anxious to please to vote a principled NO on the only leverage Congress has against the war in Iraq. But we should vote for him, because when he's president, THEN he'll stand up and do something. Funding bills come up all the time because Iraq eats money. I don't follow Barry's votes. Surely he voted no sometime? Some day when everyone voted yes, Barry Obama stood tall and voted NO! on fueling this murderous mess? Tell me when that vote was.
