McConnell: Democrats are divided over Iraq
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday that Democrats are split over Iraq and will not be able to stop the White House's Iraq strategy.

"The Democrats are divided among themselves," McConnell said in an interview with Fox News. "You've not seen it yet because they've tried to put forward only one proposal. But they're divided among themselves over the appropriateness of cutting off funds for the troops."

Asked whether Democrats could stop the war in Iraq through a restriction in funding, McConnell said: "They could do it if they had the votes and they had the presidential signature. I don't think they're going to have either."

But McConnell also indicated that his patience with regard to Iraq wasn't endless. While he has strongly supported President Bush's "surge" plan, he told Fox that the Iraqis "need to get it right this time."

1. Democrats are divided; right I want us out now, Some want us out soon
But Lieberman and some want to keep us there dieing for their corporate masters.

I believe this deserves (What was that? Oh yeah) An up or down vote, the American people deserve an up or down vote on this.

Let all our elected Representatives stand up for the truth and peace or lie down with lies and death. GET THEM ON THE RECORD.

3. I still think McConnell looks like a soft-shelled turtle...



But on Iraq -- does he think his own pathetic party is in lock-step or something!?!?

4. Hey - Bitch McCan't....
Haven't you learned that stating and repeating a pile of shit over and over (you know, the GOP way) has lost it's effectiveness and appeal? Slink back under you rock and wither.
