Just remember this, mystery. The House tried to vote for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq.......Murtha leading the charge.

The bill got THREE votes. They're all talk, no courage.

Joe Lieberman is our friend in the Senate and committed to the troops. They do not have the votes to pull us out, and if they DO vote to do it, it will be vetoed by the Commander in Chief.

I am obviously nervous about this since Eric will be going back before the Congress returns to Republican hands, but I truly don't think they can succeed in harming our troops with this President.

We just need to keep praying for him as he leads. He's not going to let our sacrifice come to naught, mystery. He's not.

Good point. Votes in House and congress have on withdrawal have failed. The analogy to Vietnam is not perfect. The anti war movement then was much bigger and more successful. We had very little info other than Cronkite.

Now instead of Eugene McCarthy taking pacifism on the campaign trail, we have McCain and his #1 issue is the WOT. That will help.
