Actually, I forgot to close my sarcasm tag, too. ;-)

Overall I agree with your assessment. However, I am less confident than you appear to be, that the "Democrat senators were told" angle will get much airplay.

I think it will, for a copleofreasons..first, it takes time to filter down to the mass of Americans who don't follow this stuff with a passion, like we do...more importantly, the Dems are gonna screw it up..the left 50% of the party, is hard core anti-war..lok at Ted kennedyand Kucnich..the Dems are politically inept..remember the Wellstone Memorial.they keep steppng on their own cranks while wearing golf shoes..

Exactly. As I keep pointing out, it really matters what "they were told". If it wasn't any more than was in the media at the time, big D.
