Let's Play Chicken - When * Says He Wants A Surge Of 20,000 Troops The Dems.....
should say - if we're going to do this right - we want 120,000 more troops. Wouldn't that be interesting?

1. In the sense that a train wreck would be interesting.
I really hate this sort of Rangelesque gamesmanship. It can backfire in a huge way, especially with a pack of lunatics like Bush & Co.

2. The Dems should straight out ask, "Where's the money we already
gave you? Use that."

5. No it wouldn't be interesting.
What we should say is NO to any more funding for this idiocy.
