That would work too, although I still prefer the image of a pack of cowards running from the threat in full sprint boogie down the hillside. Showing them standing in place to erect a flag, even a white flag, is to credit them with more spine than they actually have.

The war is a losing issue for the democratic leadership no matter how it tries to approach it. Democrats desperately want the war (not just in Iraq, but against Islamic terror in general) on its way to being resolved before 2008 because they don't want to have to take responsibility for the war if, heaven forbid, they manage to take the White House in 2008. Like Butterfly McQueen in Gone with the Wind who didn't "know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies," Hillary "don't know nothin' 'bout winnin' no war against terror."

What democrats hope to do is to force the Bush White House into at least starting the "strategic redeployment." That way, the democrats can claim that they are not surrendering. They are merely cleaning up the "disgraceful mess" that Bush made.

By Jove I think you nailed it! They KNOW the country thinks they are ~~weak~~ worthless on national security and terrorism in particular.

It could also explain why the last two former occupiers of the WH and a vice, are traveling around the world trashing our country, our military and our President. Some doing it for money.

Makes me wonder if side deals are also being made, ie: we will help get the US military out of "your lands" if you promise to drop the terrorist acts until we regain power. Hmmmmmmm?
