Will Congress use the power of the purse to end the war in Afghanistan?

[muntrv]

I hope so.

[MrSlayer]

1. Absolutely not.

No way in hell they do the right thing. They almost never do the right thing.

[LakeSamish706]

2. I certainly hope so, and I hope Finegold leads the fight on this... He is dead set...

against this escalation...

[bdamomma]

8. yes Feingold is blocking the funding.

let's see how many other dems will do the same thing.

3. Funny, this wasn't on anyone's agenda until Obama took office.

Wonder why Afghanistan was A-OK under Boosh/Cheney?

[AndrewP]

4. Yeah, like they'll have the balls to do that

[WeDidIt]

5. That would be politcal thermonuclear meltdown

No way.

[polichick]

6. They probably get too much money from war profiteers. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

7. You mean the same crew that failed to do jack shit on healthcare?

That congress?

:rofl:

[babylonsister]

9. If that includes rethugs, I don't see it, though they've been pretty

silent. Will they love remaining in Afghanistan because that's where this is going and that's been their position, or hate it because Obama suggested it?

[ShortnFiery]

10. No, our Congress is filled mostly - with rare exception - GUTLESS WONDERS.

[theoldman]

11. Whatever happened to that guy on the right?

I almost forgot his name.

[livetohike]

12. The majority of them were there bankrupting the country for

the past eight years with their war money approval. Every time it was asked for. So no, I don't see them stopping the funding now either.

[old guy]

13. They will talk a lot about it,

but in the end they will back down and fund the whole mess.

[BarbaRosa]

14. I would doubt it

despite my every hope. Seems we had a rubber stamp congress for 6 years, and now have a rubber spine congress.:eyes:
