Get a grip, it's nowhere near the crisis you're making it out to be. Feingold's point was to determine whether or not Congress could cut off funding if they so chose. As far as I can figure, they can do that, power of the purse and all that. If the Democrats were going to cut off funding, the only way it would happen is if it were part of a plan for withdrawal. No one, not even this administration, is going to be dumb enough just to cut off funding completely. I don't know where you're getting this schtick about the insurgents getting more ammunition out of this, they seem to be doing just fine as it is.
