anti-war members of Congress led by Rep. Barbara Lee of Oakland outlined their last-ditch bid on Wednesday to reopen debate on whether the United States should attack Iraq. Merely holding up their end of the bargain. The other end, of course, is depositing that check from the House of Saud.

They are anything but doves. Doves want peace. These sorry "Democrats" are anarchists and socialists and they want unrest and social upheaval.
