Letter to the Editor
The Democratic candidates claim to be against the Iraq war, but now they are facing the test. How are the going to vote on funding the war? Funding the war is the same as reauthorizing the war. You can't be against the war and vote to fund it. And to give Bush the money without conditions is to not only be stupid, but to be both stupid and cowardly. If the Democrats are to prove themselves worthy of our vote they are going to have to show that they can fight and win. If Democrats can't win against the Republicans when they have both houses of Congress then how are they going to win the war on terror?
It's time for Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama to step up and show us what they have. America needs leadership. We need a president who has the strength to do the right thing. This is where we see who is strong and who is weak. If we are going to stop this war and embrace reality we need a leader who can make it happen.

Democrats and Republicans are both losers in this new agreement to fund the Iraq war. The Democrats are losers because the voters sent them there to end the war, not fund it. They are failing to do the one thing the voters wanted and failed to distinguish themselves from Republicans on the one issue that matters. The Republicans are getting what they want but if the voters hated Republicans in 2006 it's going to be far worse in 2008. The real losers are the voters who demanded that Congress accept reality and we aren't getting what we voted for. We can win a war where the enemy and the people who we are liberating are the same people.
I suppose that it's time to add "Impeach Harry Reid" and "Impeach Nancy Pelosi" stickers next to my "Impeach Bush" sticker. If Hillary votes for it she'll have some 'splainin to do.
