Bipartisan Support for Withdrawal Deadline - Not!

If you haven't heard about this yet, you probably will soon. A bipartisan group of legislators has signed a letter in which they promise to vote against funding U.S. troops in Iraq, unless deadlines for surrender (oops: make that withdrawal) are included in the bill.

The group is bipartisan, all right. Not only does it promote withdrawal from Iraq, but another blogger noticed a Republican among the seventy signers: Ron Paul. Reviewing the facts, I see opposition to the Bush administration's policies, and at least one Republican in the mix.

Yep, that's bipartisan, as the term is used these day.

I see that there are three Minnesota names among the signers:
Representatives
  • Betty McCollum
  • Jim Oberstar
  • Keith Ellison
There's more about this affair in They Call This Bipartisanship?
