House to Starve out the Troops

It looks like the House is determined to win the siege on out troops in Iraq by trying to again cut off funding by July. I wonder what goes through the minds of these guys? This shows how out of touch they are:
"The president refuses to listen to the American people who want this
war to end," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

Yes we want the war to end but we want to leave behind something decent and not unrestrained bloodshed and chaos. The Dems plan just seems to be pulling the troops out at all costs no matter what happens after that.

I think the Dems need to create a comprehensive plan for Iraqi security that doesn't involve starving our troops out by July. If the plan is better then the White House plan of surging and getting out then people will be all for it. I think their uncomfortableness with military matters or seeming too hawkish is what is stopping them from coming up with a better plan then the White House. I mean they have intelligent guys on their side that can come up with a Democratic "How to win in Iraq" plan. Whatever the case "How to Win in Iraq" doesn't involve running away and ignoring the resulting chaos.
