Adam Cohen: Imperious Ass

Just what bloggers expect: A pompous ass spouting baseless opinions at The New York Times and believing them to be fact just because he wrote them.

Presidents wage war. Congress funds them. When Congress is certain that de-funding the war will be politically expedient, it will happen. And not a moment before.

The Left is not interested in winning or losing against al-Qaeda. They're interested in George Bush losing. That's why the war is still funded. That's why there's talk of censure and impeachment, not de-funding. The former gives the Left onanistic pleasure, the latter actually means taking a stance and living with the consequences.

There will be no grown-ups in a Democrat-led Congress, not when it's so much fun to undermine the troops by attacking the Commander-in-Chief.
