Bush Defeats Democrats In 5 Months

A lame duck has just defeated the democrats.

Remember that war funding bill I recently posted about? It seems that the "tough democrats" who were elected "for change" back in November have officially been castrated. A new bill is being introduced that would not schedule a withdrawal timeline for the troops in Iraq.

So basically the democrats, who were elected to end the war, got into a fight with GWB and he most decidedly won.

Now, the democrats were in a tough position, they basically had two options:

1. Introduce this "compromise bill" which is basically the same type of bill that the republicans have been passing for years.
2. Keep passing a bill with a withdrawal timeline, Bush will keep vetoing them, the war will not get funded, and will end immediately.

They were very afraid of option 2, because if any troop died after that bill was passed, they would be blamed for it, even though with thousands already dead it would be a proverbial drop in the bucket.
