Congress had better stick to their guns! If they back down now, they'll look far worse than if they cut funding. Every idiot and his brother knows if the funding is cut, the soldiers have to come home. Who in their right mind thinks they are going to just stay there completely on their own like Japanese soldiers living on some Pacific Island 30 years after the war ended? Who seriously believes that? Congress has to make clear to Bush he is not going to get a bill without a timetable and Congress has no business caving in to a motherfucker they should be impeaching. They should be using that as leverage: "Either you pass it or we start impeachment proceedings."
