Surge protector

President Bush is unwavering in his determination to go ahead with his "more troops for Iraq" plan, and it looks like a surge of several thousand new soldiers will be arriving shortly.

The Democrats all hate this surge plan, but their options are fairly limited. Since the President is Commander in Chief of the military, they cannot directly over-rule a wartime command he makes. They can however cut off funding to the war, but CNN tells me they will never do this because it is "a bad move, politically."

So instead they plan to pass some non-binding bills declaring themselves to be opposed.
