The Democrats are continuing in their effort to thwart our troops from accomplishing their mission. Legislation they are currently considering would turn our troops into ducks in a shooting gallery - unable to shoot back:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Four years ago, Congress passed legislation authorizing President Bush to go to war in Iraq. Now Senate Democrats want to take it back.
Key lawmakers, backed by party leaders, are drafting legislation that would effectively revoke the broad authority granted to the president in the days Saddam Hussein was in power, and leave U.S. troops with a limited mission as they prepare to withdraw.
Officials said Thursday the precise wording of the measure remains unsettled. One version would restrict American troops in Iraq to fighting al-Qaida, training Iraqi army and police forces, maintaining Iraq's territorial integrity and otherwise proceeding with the withdrawal of combat forces.
This horrific piece of back-stabbing legislation would mean that Sunnis, who have been using IEDs to kill U.S. troops, could continue to do so, secure that our troops were legally prevented from fighting them. U.S. troop deaths would increase.
This is one of the most shocking things I have ever seen from the Democrat party.
