this would matter how?

It is a salient bit of political intelligence. The Dems are pretending to be standing "shoulder to shoulder" with Bush on the war; obviously when they're on foreign soil they feel much more comfortable revealing their true colors. Thus as time passes we can expect them to snap to their default settings. I think it is extremely valuable information.

Thank you for the more level-headed correction.
