Dems fold again

Wasn't it just yesterday that somebody said the Dems were ready to force the Thugs to actually filibuster to block this bill?

WASHINGTON - The Senate on Friday blocked a Democratic proposal that would have paid for the Iraq war but required that troops start coming home.

The 53-45 vote was seven votes short of the 60 needed to advance. It came minutes after the Senate rejected a Republican proposal to pay for the Iraq war with no strings attached.

They don't even have the gumption to hold it up one hour.
