Is this going to keep going over your head?
Unless you think some third party is going to be in the White House in 2009, or running Congress, the Democrats are all your side has to work with. Right now, they're diving out the windows to avoid these leftists, and desperately trying to generate some way to sabotage the war in Iraq without actually sabotaging it.
When you can tell me why a major political party is terrified of simply shutting down a war that they (and the media) insist nobody in America believes can be won, you might start getting a clue.
