They did after all say how things were going to be different once they took control. Appears to be politics as usual. How are Democrats explaining why Pelosi and Reid now believe 2008 is an appropriate time for withdrawal when, in the summer of 2006, they signed a much publicized letter with other Dems calling on withdrawal by the end of 2006? You all appear to like polls...CNN poll show both hillary and ears obama losing to both Guiliani and McCain in heads up presidential question.

The dems majority isn't big enough to override bush and Lott, and McConnell know it. They have been able to thwart Reid on just about everything. Reid needs to play some Let Bush Veto the bill. He will be on record for vetoing money to the troops. Of course the dems will have to be on every airway calling bush and McCain on their war. Iraq is bush and the GOP's war let them get buried under it. There is more going on in the world than just Iraq and the dems need to start walking and chewing gum at the same time.

Bush is under the gun here, and no one else. If he veotes anything the entire center moves a smidgen more in our direction. Since he has screwed Iraq up more than anything else, that goes doubly for anything having to do with either Iraq or the military. The man has the lowest credibility level since just before Nixon resigned, and somebody ought to be agressive enough to take advantage of that. “The people” aren’t being given enough credit for intelligence.

Its easy enough for them to let the war go on. I don't respect that, its just good politics to them. Levin only supports his own ideas and is always on TV to be center of attention. I think he went along with the war to much so he could be a player with the republicans. And Broder just thinks he is superior and doesn't respect the leadership the democrats are bringing to this Country. The problem is both Levin and Broder don’t have to sacrifice anything.
