While I don't totally disagree with what you're pointing out, I think you have to give the dems more credit that that. Because their complete platform leading UP to the election was critical of Bush and the war. When they got in, they were careful not to step on any toes, which I think was the right way to go so as not to upset the balnce of power. I think they need to use it more, and possibly will when they regain their balance.

What galls me about you is your complete lack of criticism about this administration, it's handlers and their faux-pas.
