Jim, I agree with you completely. The irony of this whole situation, as you point out, is that we or the supposed to be the clearheaded ones with a firm grasp on the reality of the war against terrorism when it appears that it was the Democrats, even if for only partisan political purposes and without a shred of patriotism about them, who saw the dilemma of Iraq.

It Is this unwillingness on the part of the administration to deal with the reality of our Iraq before the election that the people saw through. It cost us the election, or at least exacerbated a bad situation. I think you have already read what I posted as my analysis of the election but here is the cite if anybody is interested:

Sounds nice but has not basis in reality. Indies almost never win and an Lieberman an indie running pro-war in a blue state won hands down.
