House Democrats pushed through a $50 billion bill for the Iraq war Wednesday night that would require President Bush to start bringing troops home in coming weeks with a goal of ending combat by December 2008. Does this sound familiar?

Let me refresh your memory if you’ve forgotten the routine.

1. Bush asks for $X billion to fund the war in Iraq.

2. Congress passes a bill for a portion of what Bush asks for funding the war, with stipulations of a troop withdrawal.

3. Bush vetoes the bill when it hits his desk, saying that any stipulation of a troop withdrawal in Iraq is unacceptable.

4. Congress whines and moans about the veto.

5. Congress gives Bush the original amount he asked for in the first place.

This is just another of the same old song and dance from congress. They talk tough, but when it comes down to it, it just ends up being all talk. I’m tired and bored of this same old same old stuff. It’s time long over due for Pelosi to either take a shit or get off the pot. The people voted to end the war in Iraq, hence giving the Democrats power in Congress. But to this day all we’ve heard is talk. Bush asks, and Pelosi delivers.

Nice Job Nancy.
