"So surely the Democratic leaders have an inkling that momentous things are about to happen in IRAQ......"

I think this is why they've become so suicidally looney in the past few weeks. They're trying to jinx the Iraq election and/or take credit for the inevitable drawdown of coalition troops as the Iraqi troops stand up.

"So surely the Democratic leaders have an inkling"

The only inkling they have is what runs down their legs when they don't fully empty their bladders.

By trying to do both at the same time, they have made sure they will lose. If the election were to go badly, we would not be able to leave as it would indicate that the security situation isn't where it should be.

Shows where being nuanced gets them.
