the invasion was the invasion. it is water under the bridge. the question is why don't that bimbo pelosi and that nerd reid do anything about it. if they truly represent those who didn't support the 'invasion', then why don;t they do anything about it?

i have a sneaky feeling they are cutting and running from the promised cutting and running.

because they have a majority but not a veto proof majority?
