House Democratic leaders are putting together the largest Iraq war spending bill yet, a measure that is expected to fund the war through the end of the Bush presidency and for nearly six months into the next president's term.

Seeing as how the Democrats' half-hearted 'attempt' '07 to end the Iraq war was loophole-tastic, and that they didn't try to run out the clock to get past Bush's veto, I have to wonder if they were even serious about ending the war in the first place.

Of course, this is not surprise, the GOP and Democrats are two heads of the same bourgeois beast, and as such they will support the wars for profit.

The democrats have no balls...bu, then again, if they do try and cut funds for the war Bush and Co. will call them un-patriotic and say the Dems don't "support the Troops". That could be disastrous come election time.
