UP OR DOWN AND ON THE RECORD: GOP WANTS DEMS TO VOTE ON IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ
Brilliant.
We all know how courageous the Democrats are when they're asked to actually vote on matters of war and peace, don't we?
Many will vote against the withdrawal idea-- with lots of excuses and caveats, of course. But it's a great idea to get reaffirmation of our commitment to victory in Iraq from these chickenshits, even if that reaffirmation is a basically a calculated political lie.

The sad truth is that they've painted themselves into the corner where they cannot allow the United States to win this war. The political damage to them would be too great. It's not so much they actively want the US to be defeated, humiliated, and further threatened; it's just at this point they cannot afford any other outcome. Same as the French and German governments.
