Democrats surrender

Well, we knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any easier to take. Today, the Democrats caved in to Bush:

WASHINGTON - In grudging concessions to President Bush, Democrats intend to draft an Iraq war-funding bill without a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and shorn of billions of dollars in spending on domestic programs, officials said Monday.

The legislation would include the first federal minimum wage increase in more than a decade, a top priority for the Democrats who took control of Congress in January, the officials added.

While details remain subject to change, the measure is designed to close the books by Friday on a bruising veto fight between Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress over the war. It would provide funds for military operations in Iraq through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.

Now, this is the Dems' war as well as Bush's. Just what is it they don't get about the fact that the American people are fed up with this war and want out -- now?

Not only did they drop the time lines, they didn't go for a short-term funding instead, they dropped all the extra monies for the troops. They just rolled over and died. It's disgusting.
