More From the Congressional Invertebrates

More indecision emanated from the House Democratic Caucus last night.  From Fox News this morning, an article entitled “House Democrats Back Off Plan to Limit Funding for Iraq”:

House Democratic leaders are developing an anti-war proposal that wouldn’t cut off money for U.S. troops in Iraq but would require President Bush to acknowledge problems with an overburdened military.
[…]
The plan could draw bipartisan support but is expected to be a tough sell to members who say they don’t think it goes far enough to assuage voters angered by the four-year conflict.
[…]
Bush ‘hasn’t to date done anything we’ve asked him to do, so why we would think he would do anything in the future is beyond me,’ said Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., one of a group of liberal Democrats pushing for an immediate end to the war.
[…]
Democratic protests to the war grew louder in January after they took control of Congress and Bush announced he planned to send 21,500 more troops to Iraq.  Earlier this month, House Democrats pushed through a nonbinding resolution opposing the buildup.
[…]
Since then, Democrats have been trying to decide what to do next. Some worried that a plan by Rep. John Murtha to restrict funding for the war would go too far. Murtha, D-Pa., is extending his support to the revised proposal.  (Emphasis added.)

It’s not surprising that Murtha’s going along with the idea.  After the drubbing he got this past week for his war proposal, he’s probably content to go along with anything that directs attention away from him.

But the Democrats in Congress seem to be walking on thin ice.  The hard left anti-war Dems are so fed up with the Congressional Democratic crowd’s inaction that they’re just about ready to start eating their own.  By the looks of this next video clip, the Pelosi-Reid crowd is liable to find themselves labeled as “war criminals” if they don’t do something drastic.  And soon….

From Michelle Malkin:

I just love it when a Democratic “plan” comes together.
