Not really.
While decidely Leftist, the MSM has consistently been more grounded then the Kos kids. That isn't saying much....but it does mean they recognize no plan vs A plan isn't a good election strategy. And Leiberman/Lamont shows that anti-war still doesn't sell well. Whatever the feelings about war, Americans don't want to leave without success and they certainly don't want bloody images of massacres of the Iraqi people if we turn tail and run.
well, I agree with your point about "wanting success". but americans never saw the images of what happened to southeast asia after we left vietnam, and wouldn't see it if the Dems were to regain control and leave iraq.
Plus, did anyone else see that item -- was it on Fox News? -- about Sistani complaining that when he reads news reports out of the U.S., he is confused because they make him think we're not committed to seeing things through in Iraq?
