Democrats cave again on Iraq funding

This is why we need major change in 2008.  Many Democrats, likely the DLC wing, are convincing party leaders to back off on troop redeployment demands. 

This today from Politico:

According to one senior Democratic lawmaker, there’s a growingdiscomfort among pro-defense Democrats about linking a $50 billion Iraqmeasure to troop withdrawal.

“We have to come off this lack of funding for the military operations,”the lawmaker said. “We have to continue the funding. We don’t want tolook like we’re against troop funding. ... We should separate thefunding discussion from the rest of the war.”

Since when did it become "pro-defense" to continue a war that increases our dependence on foreign oil, and holds us hostage to long-term Mideast involvement, and therefore puts our country at greater risk of an attack?  That's not "pro-defense" -- it's called being Bush lite.
