Nice analysis, but I think the reason the dems didn't vote for the resolution is that they KNOW the recent polls (on Americans tiring of the war) are cr*p, and the dems KNOW they have a bad reputation now on defense, and voting to immediately withdraw the troops would just point out to the whole country how untrustworthy they are on national security.

this is why they want the troops home and the war over with, so they dont have to campaign on national security/war issues for 2006 and 2008

yep, just a crazy thought. It'd either end the Democrat party or they and their buddies on TV might just freak out enough people that they'd retake the House or Senate.

Imagine if the media really went full bore.
I mean, they're bad enough now, imagine if they finally had the dems voting en masse against the war.
It'd be a constant drumbeat..

Thankfully, we'll never know what might have been.
