Congress Iraq

The war in Iraq is over. The only remaining questions are how many more of our brave troops will have to die? How many more billions will be spent?

Instead of working to find political solutions that will calm the warring sects, our continued military presence has further entrenched the divisions on all sides of the conflict.

Not only has Pelosi not done anything about the war, Majority Leader Reid has done nothing about it. They have failed to take Iraq as concrete blocks and tie them around McCain.

So why won't our elected leaders do something about ending the war? Because in their minds, they believe that the majority of us will not formulate our opposition to the war into comprehensive political will.

Democrats have vowed not to give Bush any more money this year. It sounds good in theory, but the year is over in one month.

The President and the Congress are having a boxing match on the Iraq war money. Bush just went on television today with a grim face saying that if th...

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote as early as Friday on legislation that would spend $50 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but r...

From Roll Call: Despite their rhetoric about not wanting to hand President Bush another "blank check" for the Iraq War, Democrats appear poised to gi...

Too many Democrats seem resigned to the notion that, since they don't have the 60 votes needed to end Senate debate, their options on Iraq are limited.

Bush's role as the primary Decider on the war in Iraq is keeping him tragically "relevant" -- in the same way that the driver of a bus careening toward the edge of cliff is extremely relevant to his passengers.

If the war is so terrible, as the Democratic leadership continues to say, then why not work every day to cut off funding for the war? What is the rationale for the war today?

How come brave veterans know it's time to get out, but leading Democrats are still pussyfooting about quickly removing the troops from this ever-deepening quagmire?

I believe the most important issue facing Pelosi and Congressional Democrats right now is their reluctance to use their congressionally mandated power of the purse to stop funding the war in Iraq. So that's what I focused on.

On Friday, I asked for your recommendations on what I should ask Nancy Pelosi during my interview with her. The response was overwhelming. And the overriding theme of the reaction was, "Ask Speaker Pelosi to please, please, stop funding the war."

A purposeful opposition must form to rethink America's role in the world. What kind of country does the US want to be in the 21st century? Republic or Empire? Global leader or global cop?

Not one cent has been paid, yet, by taxpayer dollars. In effect, the cost of this war has been put on the credit cards of our children and grandchildren.

House Democratic leaders moved swiftly Tuesday to thwart a tax proposal that would pay for the Iraq war, seeking to avoid the label of "tax and spend ...
