Reply #154: Yeah, because Bush follows the law and no longer has an emergency response fund, I guess. [View All]

FAIR must really trust Bush if they believe he would bring the troops home because Congress cut off funding. Between White House discretionary funds, intelligence departments, the Pentagon, existing defense contracts, the emergency response funds, and the money already in the pipeline for the troops, Congress could shut down government completely and Bush could still keep the troops there through the rest of his tenure. Congress could not maintain a shutdown for that long.

FAIR is just dangerously wrong on this one. We need intelligence, not hack jobs based on wishful thinking.
