Over the last year or so, I've chronicled the attempt of Congressional Democrats to have it both ways on Iraq. They've consistently promised their base that they'll do everything in their power to end the war (except de-fund it), and they've told the general populace that they'll never cut off money for the troops. It looks like we're about to see another act in the long-running farce. Or perhaps the willingness of Senate Democrats to proudly advertise the fact that they're fully-funding the war means that this fight really is over.

The accompanying graphic is from the powerpoint summary of the budget resolution prepared by Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-ND). It was delivered on the floor this morning.
