Congress has a right and a duty to protect the American people from an executive branch that wants to continue this war because it can't find the political will to end it--and admit failure.
Fine, then congress can vote to stop the war. But allowing congress to force a particular military strategy by threatening to withold funds is a very bad precedent to set. It's micro-managing by any interpretation of the term. bush is the CIC, he has the power to choose whoever he wants to run the military. If his strategy fails, that's when congress should get involved.
