Now that Murtha has said the surge is working shouldn't Congress pass the war funding bill as is?
The War Funding Bill is stuck in Congress because it does not have a definite date for troop withdrawl, the Democratic Leadership claimed it needed the withdrawl date because the war is being lost and our toops need to come home. Now that tone of their biggest anti-war voices has said the surge is working shouldn't we fund the war to its fullest extent and help end it sooner?

Flipper- we still have bases in Japan and Germany are ou implying we are still at war with them?
Flipper- I think you may be a little mixed up the bases were established as part of the treaties signed to end the war and were deamed needed to weed out the units that didn't see it as fit to surrender with the regular military units of Germany and Japan and launched an insurgency against the occupying forces. They remained, in Germany at least, as a detorant to the Soviet Union after the Geman Insurgency was defeated. I am not sure but the bases in Iraq would probably fall under the same stipulation only replace Soviet Union with Iran....
