Oh it will stick because it is being fashioned to work for them either way. If the President starts pulling troops out next year they will simply say that it is because of their (Dems) efforts, not because suddenly the war is going well (in the eyes of the American people). If the troops aren't pulled out and continue to sustain casualties, they are now on record as having put forward a plan, but the President chose not to listen. In their minds, this is a no lose plan for them next year. Whether it works or not, only time will tell. But my point is that it is a well orchestrated plan by the Democrat Party, and was not just a series of conscience driven initiatives.
Of cocurse the Dims foresee the U.S. reducing troop levels in the next year. That's why they're pathetically trying to get out ahead of it now. But they've been reduced to the role of a chihuaha chasing a truck.
Ding... ding... ding... we have another winner.
JD Hawworth put a wrench in some of that last Friday, and I hope we see more of it. But, as to strategy I'm convinced you are right. In good Kerry fashion, the Democrats are on both sides of the issue.
Remember the MSM/DNC are not the only game in Town anymore.
