Bad Idea: Iraq, the Dream Act and the Military

"Do we continue to send our kids in the middle of a meat grinder based on a policy that is fundamentally flawed?" -- Joe Biden, July 10, 2007

With Iraq still in the Equation, Its a Bad Idea
The Iraq Bill that would have contained the Dream Act stalled again in the Senate last week. It doesn't look like our lawmakers want to stand up to the administration and the Republican Party. This is a dangerous position, combining the Dream Act with the military bill is unfair to students who cannot go to college.

Joe Biden's speech in the Senate tells of what could happen if the DREAM Act is passed as part of the Military Bill while we are still in Iraq.

I realize that I wrote endorsing the the DREAM Act being tied to the military bill in previous posts. During NON-WARTIME - it can be a reasonable option. But now, especially after seeing our President continue to throw away lives in a illogical "surge" and our Senate being too afraid to stop this insanity, it looks like a very deadly idea.
