University of Puget Sound professor Seth Weinberger, writing at Security Dilemmas, questions Congress' methods and commitment to leaving Iraq: "The spending bill as it stands represent a congressional abdication of the role it is all too quick to loudly proclaim for itself. It is not a serious attempt to check the president, to bring the troops home, or to enforce the will of the American public. The ultimate result of this will be nothing; until Congress grows a spine and refuses to appropriate funds for the war in Iraq, it will continue according to President Bush's plan."
