So last night, Congress Spent all night going around in circles about iraq. Needless to say, Each minute spent made me lose faith in the American legislative system more and more. Every time a democratic senator spoke, they kept blaming the Republican leadership for the war. That this was George Bush's fault, it was GWB's war, and that it wasn't their fault. Basically, its a perfectly good example of why people say Democrats don't have a backbone. This isn't Geogre W. Bush's war. Sure he was the one who kept pushing for it, but in the end, who voted for it? Who has the power to start and stop a war? Who has the power to pull the troops out? Who has the power to fund the war? CONGRESS.

A little more than a month ago, Congress continued to fund the war, congress decided to CONTINUE THE WAR. It wasn't George W. Bush. What was their excuse? "Oh its because the President Vetoed our Bill." If Mr. Bush Vetoes your Bill then Make another, and if he vetoes that one, then make another, and another, and another, and another, until he realizes that you are not backing down. And if he starts becoming a child then refuse to fund the executive branch. After all, that's what checks and balances is all about. But instead, they took the cowards way out. Instead a little more than a month ago, 80 percent of the Senate voted to continue the Iraq war.

So if you ever hear anyone, including those running for president, point their finger at anyone else. You stare at them right in the eye and say "Bullshit, this war is just as much your fault as it is theirs."
