What Will it Look Like After the Dems Declare they Refuse to Further Fund the War


By Rob Kall, OpEdNews

The other day, I got the idea that we've been going about the effort to get congress to stop the war the wrong way, kind of like Bush attacked Iraq. Bush planned the attack but not the follow-up occupation.

I asked leading progressives what it will look like when and after the dems inform Bush that they will no longer fund the occupation. Responses came in from Dennis Kucinich, Cindy Sheehan, Jeff Cohen, Mike Malloy, David Swanson, Swami Beyondananda, Brent Budowsky

Progressives, myself included, are calling for refusing to fund the war any further. The word is that Dems in congress are afraid they will be cast as failing to provide for the troops. I figured that if we explored the possible responses, plans could be made on how to effectively deal with them.

So I started talking to people, asking them what they thought things would look like AFTER the congress refused to fund the war any further.

What would Bush do?

What would the Republicans do?

What would the media do?

What would the pentagon do?

What would retired generals do?

I put the word out to some of our writers, got a few replies, and spoke to Dave Lindorff and then, set up an interview with Democratic presidential primary candidate and congressman Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich has been the most outspoken advocate for de-funding the war. We talked about how this would work.

...because the Dems don't have the cajones to look at Bush
cross-eyed--let alone de-fund his precious war.

I gave up hope a long time ago. They're in on the game.
