Recently President Bush told Democrats in congress that he was going to 
veto their bill that stipulated a retraction date for all the troops in Iraq, because he said if we eave before the job it will have all been for nothing and leaving Iraq in shambles will only create more problems. After this had happened, which we all knew it would, the Democrats in congress have decided to take the retraction date out of their bill and focus more one the money we spend in Iraq and other things in the same area. I think by doing this the Democrats have accepted defeat and in doing so they let down the people of America, who supported their bill, and would have done all they could to see it pass. Also, by only focusing on the money involved in the Iraq war they have accomplished nothing that they set out to initially do; along with letting down the American citizens they also let down the troops in Iraq who are fighting in a losing effort. Maybe, though this was a good idea, to take out the retraction date, because if they left it in their any bill that was attached along with it would have never passed. What they should have done was continue to push the bill, seeing how Iraq is eating up enough of tax payers money, and just wait until a Democratic president was elected and have him approve the bill.
