Playing Politics Some More
by Boozman Press Office
May 15th, 2007

The Senate is getting playful with a bill which would spend $14 billion on important national water projects. The playfulness: two Iraq troop-withdrawal amendments.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada co-sponsored both amendments with fellow Democrats; one with Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin that would restrict war funds to noncombat operations, and the other with Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan that would pull out troops if the Iraqi government does not meet policy benchmarks.

Instead of playing around with a water bill, why not just offer up the legislation straight up? I would think something that important deserves a focussed debate and up-and-down vote.
