The House just passed a bill that would fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but put a binding date for troop withdraw from Iraq by August 2008. The Senate passed a similar bill that set a non-binding date for troop withdraw by March 31st, 2008. Should we support these bills even though they don't cut the funding for the war?

Do you think we should support the DREAM Act?
