It seems to me that this whole affair of whether or not to debate a non-binding resolution of disagreement with the President's planned 'Surge' of troops into Iraq is a bunch of hoowey. There, I've said it. Hooey.
The Republicans, love 'em or leave 'em, are very good at framind discussions. They have framed the proposed Senate resolutions announcing displeasure with the President's tactics as an issue of supporting our troops. As long as they continue to do this, they have the upper hand. Who could, or would want to, argue against the troops?
The key Democratic Party players are so caught up with the feeding frenzy that the 2008 Presidential race has already become that they have dropped the ball, pretty much across the board. Clinton, Obama, Byden, they are all too busy saying how they could do a better job to be able to do anything about the horrible situation that we are in. Throw in John Edwards calling for a complete withdrawal by the end of the year and Joe Lieberman (when did he become a Republican?) saying back the President at all costs, and it is one convoluted mess.
Here's an idea, instead of worrying about getting (re)elected, do something about the people dying in Iraq. Seriously. Get over yourselves.
