It separated out money for the troops from money for reconstruction so there would be oversight so that reconstruction wouldn't line the pockets of corporations and would be done correctly with the Iraqi people involved in the process. So that Iraq would benefit which would have led to stability much faster. He didn't just blindly vote for the money, the way you imply. And it's sad that you "voted for the war" people are letting Bush get away with HIS lie about that vote because BUSH said it wasn't a vote for war. That fact got buried and the right got to twist the war lies any way they wanted, and the left helped.

NOBODY, in or out of government, is proposing an instant pull out. Not even Ralph Nader. It's sad how those screaming "bring the troops home" don't even know who to back in order to truly make that happen.
