Pelosi and Reid “plead” with Bush to end the war…WTF?

[kpete]

They have the power to stop it, but they choose not to use it.
Pleading with Bush?!?
They should have articles of impeachment in their hands and be telling him
“Stop it or we stop you”.

Dems Plead With Bush on Iraq
By ANNE FLAHERTY – 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic leaders are pleading with President Bush not to hand the Iraq war off to the next president.

In a letter sent to Bush on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others said the military has done what it can in Iraq and that ending the war is vital to restoring the strength of the Army and Marines. The Democrats also said the nation should refocus its resources on fighting terrorists in Afghanistan.

The letter is intended as advance rebuttal to next week's testimony by Gen. David Petraeus, the top military commander in Iraq. Petraeus is expected to say the recent buildup in troops has succeeded in improving security but that more time is needed before more U.S. forces can be withdrawn in significant numbers.
