Edwards Challenges Democratic Congress to End the Bloody War!
In his rebuttal to the broken record in the oval office, John Edwards challenged the ever-spineless and cowardly Democrats to put a stop to Bush's illegal and immoral war.
John Edwards' response to Stay-the-Course Bushie:
Our troops are stuck between a president without a plan to succeed and a Congress without the courage to bring them home.
But Congress must answer to the American people. Tell Congress you know the truth - they have the power to end this war and you expect them to use it. When the president asks for more money and more time, Congress needs to tell him he only gets one choice: a firm timeline for withdrawal.
No timeline, no funding. No excuses.
It is time to end this war.
Full transcript and video
Time and time again, Edwards has led and the other presidential candidates have followed.
Obama? Hillary?
Update - From kos: Here's the bottom line: we need Democrats to promise NOT to support any supplemental which does not have binding withdrawal timetables. Who has promised this?
Dodd: Yes
Obama: No
Clinton: No
Biden: he's still running for president?
