Harry Reid has just announced that the Democrats have surrendered. There will be no timelines in the Iraq War Funding bill. There will be benchmarks tied to Iraqi economic aid. CNN is reporting that
Speaker Nancy Pelosi will present a plan to House Democrats for a war funding bill that won't include a time line for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq but will feature benchmarks with consequences, according to Democratic leadership aides.In exchange for surrender Democratic leaders hope the President will approve an increase in the minimum wage to $7.25 per hour and fund other economic measures which are still being negotiated.
I don't think I am going to be supporting any of the Democrats who vote for this bill anytime soon. What about you? Think its time to form a 3rd party?
