  as demanded by President Bush, and without any timetable for a U.S. troop withdrawal. 
  Bush got his $100 billion, then magnanimously agreed to let Democrats keep the 
  $20 billion in pork they stuffed into the bill  –  to soothe the pain of their 
  sellout of the party base. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.antiwar.com/pat/?articleid=11021"><P>Remarkable. If the Republican rout of 2006 said anything, it was that America 
  had lost faith in the Bush-Rumsfeld conduct of the war and wanted Democrats 
  to lead the country out. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.antiwar.com/pat/?articleid=11021"><P>Yet, today, there are more U.S. troops in Iraq than when the Democrats 
  won. More are on the way. And with the surge and retention of troops in Iraq 
  beyond normal tours, there should be a record number of U.S. troops in country 
  by year's end. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.antiwar.com/pat/?articleid=11021"><P>Why did the Democrats capitulate? </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.antiwar.com/pat/?articleid=11021">Because they lack the courage of their convictions.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0906DC2C-0537-4676-8CDE-0C6B175C7C5C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
