I’m not the first to say it–but it bears repeating. Why are the Democrats caving on the Iraq funding resolution and backing away from demanding a timeline for withdrawal? Some Dems have some courage, as an article from today’s The Hill shows:

Liberal Democrats who reluctantly have backed House leaders on the Iraq spending bill may defect due to the leadership’s decision to eliminate any timeline for withdrawal from the legislation.

That could force the leadership to rely on Republican votes to pass the war-spending bill, which is expected to come to the floor as early as Thursday.

“The anti-war Democrats have reached their tipping point,” said Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), a leader of the Out of Iraq caucus. “It’s going to take Republican votes to pass it.”

   But, with Republican votes, the funding resolution will likely pass. Keep calling your Congresscritters.
