Tough talk from the Dems, but do they have the spine and competence to actually "do" it?

Senate Democrats Draft Plan To Take Back War Authority
Four years ago, Congress passed legislation authorizing President Bush to go to war in Iraq. Now Senate Democrats want to take it back.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., intends to present the proposal to fellow Democrats next week, and he is expected to try to add the measure to anti-terrorism legislation scheduled to be debated later this month. Officials who described the strategy spoke only on condition of anonymity, noting that rank-and-file senators had not yet been briefed on the details.
Republicans recently thwarted two Democratic attempts to pass a nonbinding measure through the Senate that was critical of Bush's decision to deploy an additional 21,500 combat troops.
After failing on his second attempt last Saturday, Reid said he would turn his attention to passing binding legislation. Maybe the Republicans should have gone with the "non-binding" resolution instead of waiting for real legislation - particularly that added to an anti-terrorism bill. Go ahead GOP, vote against this one. We're all watching.
Only Congress Can Declare War

If past performance is any indication, the spineless bastards will probably wet their expensive suits at the thought of actually doing their jobs. Maybe not...but I have only their history to judge by.

I hear ya NBK. First sign of republicans calling them unpatriotic or joe-mentum threatening to turn republican (big change that would be, huh?) and 75% of the Dems will run to the toilet to change their Depends. Shit they're in charge and the gop still pushes them around like a bunch of pussies.
