In 2006, we elected an anti war congress, with the understanding that there would be a funding cut off.

In 2008, we elected an anti war president, with the understanding that there would be troop withdrawals.

Instead, the Bush/Cheney team is still in charge at the Pentagon and on the ground in the Middle East.

What happened?
