I firmly believe the democrats want Bush to retreat but wouldn't do it if they had the white house.
What I'm glad about is that he is going to announce his "new policy/strategy" before the end of the year. That means before the Democrats take over the Senate. I'm ashamed of Baker and Hamilton for their poor report -- for them to ignore the good parts of Iraq is shameful. I'm disgusted they had no military expertise on their so-called commission and then make military recommendations...although they said "could" not "should" regarding the 08 timlime (the media is constantly changing it from could to should). I'm looking forward to State, NSC, and Pentagon reports....I wonder if the media will give those reports as much attention as they are giving this esteemed and bipartisan report from elder statespeople (gag).
The anti-war rhetoric is a sop to the moonbats.
