Essential viewing, gang. See, the other day, the Dems, entrusted to smack Mr. Bush for his horrific war of lies and to get our troops the hell out of Iraq... folded like a map.

Keith is not happy.

Re: What could they do?

I thought they did include benchmarks. It's not quite nothing, but it's a start. The problem isn't that the Democratic leadership doesn't talk about how Bush is denying reality in favor of his own perspective. They are, the problem is that not enough people are listening or has accepted that Bush won't change his mind. And why should Bush change his mind? He doesn't have to worry about re-election. When things start looking bad, his cronies will go back to scaring people with terrorists again. As long as he thinks Iraq is central to his "war on terror" Bush won't budge. So we got to make him accept the fact he is wrong and accept responsibility for being wrong. Once that happens we can finally get around to repairing the damage he did, starting with bringing our troops home.

Iraq started as a country mashed together after a war. The only way for it to live is with powerful dictators. The best thing for everyone is to let it die and let the region heal on its own.
