The REPUBLICAN that proposed the nonsense admits it was a political stunt... why can't you?

Personally, (Oh, I dont speak for the left), I find this a childish ploy to paint the "Libs" as "against the troops" while avoiding the real issues...

Honestly, I think we are obligated to keep troops over there until peace is established- sadly we will pull out before that... The press, reporting the facts, will be blamed for that- just as they are blamed for reporting the facts today... those commie bastards! Oddly the MORONS that got us in this war will be free of blame...

Within the year Tom and Larry will be distancing themselves from this war, or blaming the press for its failure...
