Responding To The People

Doesn't this about tear it? Talk about not responding to the will of the people:

From Slate:

The Washington Post leads with word that the Bush administration wants more money for the Iraq war and is planning to ask Congress for up to $50 billion next month. The thinking seems to be that lawmakers won't be able to say no after Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker ask for more time to build on the progress they have made.

So easy to attack and start a war, so difficult to admit failure and quit. I know I'm not saying anything new, but the frustration is great when the government does not respond to the will of the people. I suspect that the White House thinking is correct and that Congress will huff and puff and cave like a cheap house. We can only hope that the next election is a large wave of removing those politicians who are unresponsive.
