No Time for Compromise on Iraqi Withdrawal

TThe Democrats must stand strong against the current of compromise that is swirling around Washington concerning the funding of the Iraq War.

After Bush’s veto, there has already been lots of talk on Capitol Hill about crafting an acceptable bill.

But no bill is acceptable that continues funding for this war and this occupation.

The American people want out, the U.S. soldiers want out, and the Iraqis are demanding that we leave. A majority of Iraqis think it’s acceptable to kill Americans there. We can’t win that way.

There is no art in continuing to pay for a foolish, bloody war.

The Democrats need to find the courage to withstand the slurs from Bush and Cheney and their parrots on Fox News and rightwing radio.

They need to defund the war. That is their moral duty, and they have the clear constitutional authority to do their duty. Not compromise.
