House Democrats can't wait to find new and unusal ways to undermine national security by setting timetables that give Iran, terrorists, and insurgents a date beyond which they simply have to survive in order to win and attain their objectives.
The House plan has nothing to do with victory, but with a modified form of cut and run. The terrorists know this. Al Qaeda knows this - and knows that they've been fighting a nation with a short attention span and whose political and media class have even shorter attention spans. Iran most certainly knows this.
Rep. Mike Pence rightly wonders whether the latest House Democrat plan, which passed 218-212, should have been entitled the Denny's Salad Bar special the way that it included supplementals for farming and aquacultural interests (via Michelle Malkin).
President Bush also rightly slammed the proposal. There's no way this will ever see passage as it will likely die in the Senate and most definitely get cut down by Bush if it got that far, but it does manage to permit Pelosi to reassert her leadership though it got real messy for a bit.
And how did she reassert leadership? By larding the legislation with pork. Lots of pork.
