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."
