The Democrats determination for defeat

Washington Times:

More than 40 bills that call for pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq or otherwise trying to end the war are being kicked around Congress by Democrats eager to again challenge President Bush.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid say they will put troop-withdrawal timetables in upcoming defense-spending bills, despite backing down last month when Mr. Bush vetoed a war-funding bill over similar measures.
"We're fairly well set up now as to how we're going to do it and when we're going to do it," said Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat.
The feminist antiwar group Code Pink said Democratic leaders are bowing to intense pressure from the party's antiwar base.
"We will continue to keep the pressure on them, and we will be relentless," said Code Pink spokeswoman Dana Balicki.
When the Senate takes up the $648 billion defense-authorization bill for fiscal 2008 at the end of this month, Mr. Reid plans to attach an amendment by Sen. Carl Levin, Michigan Democrat and chairman of the Armed Services Committee, that would reduce U.S. troop levels in Iraq in 120 days.
Mr. Reid also is reviewing other options, including at least nine Senate bills that would pull out U.S. forces or limit troop levels and a bill to end Congress' 2002 war authorization, a Democratic aide said.

The Republicans should be planning campaign adds now to show how committed Democrats are to losing the war. They are a disgrace to this country and they deserved to be labeled as such. I question their patriotism and their judgment. We should do all we can to defeat them and their ideas before they get more Americans killed.
