No More Blank Checks For Iraq

Damn, this is the same thing that the Dems said after the 2006 election and seems that the President has had is way regardless of their feeling.

Sen. Jack Reed says America can’t afford the Republican strategy of continuing to write blank checks for the Iraq war.

“At a time when the war in Iraq costs $10 billion each month, Americans are paying $4 a gallon for gasoline, and our economy is struggling, we cannot continue down the path that President Bush and Senator McCain propose: writing blank check after blank check,” Reed, a Rhode Island Democrat, said Saturday in his party’s weekly radio address.

Reed said Democrats have outlined a better plan to carefully redeploy combat troops out of Iraq and give them missions such as counterterrorism and training Iraq’s military.

“Make no mistake: This is a plan that seizes on the progress and sacrifices our troops have made in Iraq, and it recognizes the desire of the Iraqi people to take control of their own destiny,” he said.

Please, stop promising things that you cannot deliver, at least right now.
