What a total circus it has been in Washington DC the last few days. The Democrat Whip in the house, having to tell Speaker Pelosi that they just didn't have the votes. So off went Pelosi with ginormous purse passing out candy, trinkets, and gum for member's home districts if those dastardly "blue dogs" would just get on board.
So if Maxine Waters, and the rest of the rabies-infested-ankle-biters on one side pressuring Pelosi to move the pullout date UP. And the blue dogs on the other side not thinking it was such a good idea to have a pullout date to begin with - it really was looking like Democrat leadership in the House was sunk.
So last night the Ankle-Biters gave in - and with an aw-shucks sigh decided to support the original pull-out date of August 31, 2008.
So for those who are keeping track at home, or as may be the case, some cave in the middle east... If this bill somehow becomes law (surviving the veto stamp of the President) you can officially mark March 23, 2007 as the day that the rabies-infested-ankle-biting liberals in the United States Congress did the best Neville Chamberlain impression they could muster and say to the terrorists - who want to kill us...
"YOU WIN!"
