The Webb amendment is resurrected
The Democrats in Congress now see this as the best chance of forcing the hand of Our Dear Embattled Leader in his Holy Crusade to kill as many US troops as necessary to keep from admitting the error of his ways. This amendment, which mandates time at home equal to their last deployment, is troop friendly enough for Republicans to support it. And more might do so now that ODEL has shown his willingness to hang the party out to dry to protect his ego. Three more and it could be a winner. There are at least that many Republicans looking at forced retirement in 2008. But as we have seen before, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. When voting starts, many fine words are quickly forgotten.
