An end to the war?

Limited funding is better than the whole thing.
Neocons are yelling about the pentagon firing civilian workers to fund the war and how the troops are now in harm's way. Somehow, this is the legislative branch's fault. Yes, the congress isn't patriotic because they aren't giving the troops our money! I always thought patriotism was the love of country and not love of the military/soldiers. At any rate, someone has to grow a spine and place the blame on Bush. Something like "Hey, we're ending the war by giving a limited amount of money. He's the one putting them in harm's way by not taking them out by the time the money runs out."
Assuming patriotism is the love of the military/soldiers, congress is ending war and by keeping them in without money, the president is the unpatriotic one. Unless patriotism is re-redefined as the love of war. In that case, yes, the congress is unpatriotic.
