Are they crazy?
According to THINK PROGRESS, Bush & Co are about to deploy a new tactic against the Democrats. They intend to pull out all the stops to blame the Democrats for the delay in funding the Iraq war. They will refer to the number of days since Bush requested funding. Like this:
It has been 57 days since he sent Congress his funding request. If Congress fails to act soon, Bush said, "the price of that failure will be paid by our troops and their loved ones."
Personally, I think they are nuts to start a numbers game with the Democrats.
The obvious response should go something like this:
It has been 1475 days since Bush started this unnecessary war. As a result 3252 American lives have been lost, almost 25,000 wounded and over 650,000 Iraqis have been killed, and there is no end in sight. Every day, more Americans & Iraqis are killed. The sooner this President brings our troops home the sooner the price will stop being paid by our soldiers, their loved ones and our country.
