Sunday is Veteran’s Day, and as Don Surber points out, “Republican Congresswoman Thelma Drake of Virginia reminded the majority of its inability to fulfill even the basic constitutional requirements of Congress: Pass a budget.”

The Democrat controlled Congress is trying it’s hardest to insure failure. Granted, a few are unhappy with the latest strategy.

Rank-and-file Democrats expressed heartburn on Friday over their party’s latest anti-war strategy, with some members reluctant to coincide a vote to bring troops home with Veterans Day.

The House was on track to consider next week legislation that would give President Bush $50 billion for operations Iraq and Afghanistan but insist that he begin withdrawing troops.

The measure identifies a goal of ending combat by December 2008, leaving only enough soldiers and Marines behind to fight terrorists, train Iraqi security forces and protect U.S. assets.

The very thought of victory, or any measure of success, acts like garlic to these BDS ravaged vampires.

The troops, the ones who they go to any length to claim they support, are the ones who will suffer.

But they don’t care about them. They are too busy Goldilocksing™ the bill.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed off plans for a Friday vote after caucus members told her late Thursday they weren’t sure they would support it. Liberal Democrats said the proposal was too soft, while conservative members told Pelosi they thought it went too far.

None of them found it “just right.”

Senator McConnell gets it right:

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Democrats face “unfortunate timing” because of the military progress being made in Iraq.

“While our troops are quelling violence and defeating terrorists in Baghdad and throughout Iraq, Democrats in Washington are trying to choke off funds for our troops in the field,” he said.

I’m sure we will all be impressed with the Veterans Day lip service they will utter this weekend. Actually doing the right thing would be too much to ask.
