What I find odd about his bizarre statement was his use of the trite and much ballyhooed term "Illegal War"
Correct me if I'm wrong but... didn't the House and the Senate VOTE to send troops to war? Didn't Democrats insist on being allowed to vote on the measure to show their Patriotism? Did Congress then engage in an illegality? And judging by the magnitude of their vote, couldn't this be construed as a High Crime? Especially since they continue to vote to FUND the war!?
Hmmmm.

Things can be looked at from different angles and have different shapes. That's one of those lessons you learn in kindergarten that serves you well all through life.
Come on!
The Left in Congress are cowards... afraid of the people who may vote them out if they vote to take shells out of Johnny's M16.
Other than...he is an anti-American leftist shmuck.
I have to wonder if you ever look at things from a perspective other than your own after your comment above.
I've seen absolutelt NO evidence that you do after having read your comments for these past two years or so.
None. Nada. You are a stone wall, my friend...a stone wall.
Back to topic!
Defunding the war would be an active effort. As a generalization all politicians avoid active efforts until all other paths are closed. Secondly some democrats more passionate about this issue have brought forward bills and amendments that would limit our engagement in Iraq. Thirdly Republicans have amazing party loyalty, when these divisive issues come up for a vote not one Republican crosses party lines. Democrats don't march in such lock-step. Forth Pres. Bush will veto any measure that ratchets down the struggle in Iraq. Democrats don't have the votes to override. Those are the practical real-world reasons that the Democratic Controlled Congress hasn't just turned off the money tap.
Several national polls show that a plurality of the American public is ready for us to withdraw from Iraq. But Democrats don't spoil for legislative fights the way republicans do, so you get your war until the next president is sworn in. Because no matter what happens, the next president will pull troops out of Iraq pretty damn quick. Even a republican president won't want to start an administration with an unpopular war hanging around his neck like an albatross.
After all, when Republicans say and do stupid things, they resign out of embarrassment. Lone Ranger is right. Democrats are incapable of being embarrassed.
"Did Congress engage in an illegality by sending American troops to Iraq?"
If not, Pete Stark is a liar and an Idiot-- as is every other Liberal Democrat who spouts the same tripe.
But if Congress DID engage in an illegal act by sending American troops to Iraq, then every last one of them should resign. Because THAT amounts to a High Crime, in that more than 3,000 American lives alone were lost.
Barring that, every single one of these idiots should keep their mouths shut about "illegal" wars-- ESPECIALLY since they continue to fund the blasted thing!
