One thing democrats are noted for is their ability to spend money, lots of it.

But, now that democrats are in control of the congress, will they continue to support the war in Iraq, financially? According to a piece done by the democrats favorite newspaper, the New York Times, democrats plan to be more assertive in how monies are spent on the war in Iraq.

Currently, billions are spent each month on the war. Whether all of this will change come January, when the democrats take over both chambers of the House, remains to be seen. This much is known,  the chairmen of the House and Senate Budget Committees reportedly have said they will "Demand A Better Accounting Of The War's Cost And Move Toward Integrating Spending Into The regular Federal Budget".

This is seen as the firing of the first salvo in the "war" between the President and the incoming majority democrats over how the war is financeD in Iraq. Democrats feel that the President has been hiding the "true cost of the war," by his piecemeal approach to financing the war efforts.

According to Senator Kent Conrad of North Dakota, the Bush administration has been "playing hide-the ball, and that does not serve the Congress well, nor the counry well, and we are not going to continue that practice".

Conrad and congressman John M. Spratt, will have a chance to "Put Their Money Where Their Mouths Are At," rather soon. The President will be asking congress for $120 billion dollars to pay for the war well into September, 2007. Here is where the "Rubber Will Meet The Road". Will the democrats balk at the President's request, and get caught up into looking like the obstructionists they have been? Or, will they just stop the posturing, and give Mr. Bush the requested money? I say the democrats will give the President the money. Grudgingly so, but the dems will folk over the money.

Otherwise, they will look like they are anti-military: which they really are. However, they don't want the public to wise up, and figure this out for themselves. After all, the democrats are playing for all of the marbles, and that is the control of both chambers of Congress, and the Presidency in "08".  So, these hypocrites have got to continue their transparent farce of being "Pro-Military".

I think that what Conrad and Spratt are doing is nothing short of, "Saber Rattling". Although, the democrats have been known to engage in self defeatist politics. They just can't help themselves. We have all witnessed where the Democrats have said or done something stupid to foil their chances of being taken seriously by the electorate. 

Saber Rattling or not, the democrats will be pushed by their buddies at the New York Times and MoveOn. org to do something that could impact the war's efforts, in a negative way. It wouldn't surprise me if the lunatics at the Times and MoveOn. org do not push the democrats into trying to curtail funding for the war in Iraq. Stranger things have happened with these socialists. Pelosi and company are attemting to portray this "United Front". When in essence, the democrats have too many "Wackos" to serve.

George Soros is no friend of the Iraq War. And he is certainly no friend of George W. Bush. You can bet that this odious man will be pushing the new democratic leadership to do something, anything that would move our troops closer to coming home. Soros is a solid gold phoney. He too,  is no friend of our military. However, he is a friend to the insurgents, and any other anti-American socialist/communist group.

The democrats biggest weapon is their control of the purse strings for the war in Iraq. They now possess the power to not only demand more answers from the White House, they can influence administration policy on Iraq.

While the Pelosi lead majority has stated repeatedly that they will not cut funding for the war, there are some senior democratic officials who are reportedly mulling over whether to tack on conditions to spending bills to force the President to meet benchmarks for progress or change in Iraq.

It's like I said, Ms. Pelosi will have to answer to a number of leftist socialists within her own party. Like the old saying goes, "You Can Please Some Of The People Some Of The Time, But Not All Of The Time".

The demcrats are a group of sad sacks that are never happy, even when they are in power.

It is a matter of time before they do something real stupid, and people will be left asking, "WHAT WAS I THINKING, WHEN I PULLED THE LEVER FOR THOSE,  @@#@$#$#@$".
