I wish someone would tell the Democrats in Congress that they are the majority:

Budget deal would probably give Bush victory on war funding

This reminds me of a teenager asking his parents for $100 to go to the movies. Of course he knows it'll get shot down so they'll negotiate down to $30, which is what he really wanted in the first place. Instead it's $70 billion dollars for an unpopular war down from $200 billion and the teenager is the president who doesn't know how to run a war.
This is what gets me the most:

Privately, Democrats say they have little choice but to give the president at least some war funding because Senate Republicans have vowed to block any final budget deal unless it has at least some of the war funding Bush has requested.

Yes, because blocking spending would only affect Democrats? Morons. Let them bluff, not producing a spending bill to give more money to this horrible war would only hurt the republicans blocking it. The American people want this war over, the democrats have been given the majority to do just that. Will someone please explain this to these dolts.
