“Why has the anti-war movement been unable to translate the clear public mandate they claim into any clear change in our government’s Iraq policy?”

For a self proclaimed anti-war pol/leader to actually get a resolution to the war by bringing home the troops, etc., is like asking a skunk to take a bath.

He/she would suddenly be transformed into someone w/o a cause in which to be a leader. Like the freshly bathed skunk, the pol would initially “smell better” but ultimately return to the “smelly and anonomous beast” he is.

Yes...and that mysterious “skunk” smell they carry around with them is the scent of communism.

The Democrats won control of the House and Senate last fall, but the Nutroots overreached in claiming a mandate they were not given to "end the war now." Just like Hillary Clinton thought she had a mandate to socialize health care in 1993. Democrats constantly overreach when they win. They do not know the art of compromise or conciliation. They were SOBs when they ran the House for 40 years before 1994 and they are SOBs now.

The last paragraph of the article really says it all. This is NOT an anti-war movement, it is an anti-Bush movement dressed up in an anti-war movement's clothing. They do not see surrender in Iraq as bad for America, just bad for George Bush and so it must happen.
