#1 Dubya is still commander in chief and the resolutions that sent us to Iraq gives Bush what he needs to continue the war.

That the left welshed on their commitments doesn't mean the war will end as a defeat or a retreat.

#3 Senator Joseph Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticutt

So has Joe offically returned to the Dark Side or is this just wishful thinking by the Times?
P.S. NYT: Correct spelling is "Connecticut".
That was me, not them. I'll fix it. AoS.

#4 Mighty nice of the democrats to make a public mockery of the Constition by telling America that Congress intends to tell the POTUS how to run a war.

I wonder what SCOTUS would say about that?

Might be something for Trent Lott to make mention of. Publicly. Sunday morning on TV.

#5 I can only hope that this kind of idiocy from some on the left leads only to serious infighting. And perhaps leading to the exodus of a couple people from the party.

Joe, party of one, you're table's ready. Joe, party of one.

#7 tu-

Well, in fairness, you can want a military and political victory (which I believe is MORE than possible) and not necessarily agree with the surge option.

#8 -- Iran has imported huge subway drilling machines but hasn't been building any subways.
-- The electorate's message at the ballot box is not what the Dems say it was.

#9 Right, AH.

The Dems say, "The elections show the public wanted change."

{Maybe, maybe not}

But now they say, "Well, not that kind of change. No, no, the vote meant we should withdraw."

#10 Oh, BTW, this article is also on the front page of the Washington Post this morning.

My wife subscribes; I just glance at it every once in a while to remember how much I hate it.

#11 You don't need more troops. You need to allow the troops you have there to go Mongol on the wretched hives of scum and villainy when they find them. No apologies.

#12 Unfortunately, all the Iraq Study Group recommendations do not include anything about Taking out Tater, putting the hurt on Syria and Iran, and Sunni makers of mayhem. We do not allow our military to do its job. We can excuse the Dems, 'cause they are moonbats. But there are no excuses for the Republicans, who have had 6 years to un-f*ck Clintons messes.

#13 “The Pelosi-Reid letter, and Mr. Feingold’s allusion to the November elections, underscored the new political reality for the White House.”

Whoaaa…a terse letter with absolutely no teeth and public speeches filled with empty rhetoric? How very…uh…UN of them. C’mon Russ ole boy…dust of that Presidential censure proposal…we double-dog dare ya.

#15 I wonder, is her next step to go over to Iraq like Kerry and talk with top officials? Pretty damn scary.
So much for a united front, let her bring her whip there and see what happens. lol

#16 No Jan, but a call on Iran to get her marching orders might be in order....

After all they did push the Dhimmiocrats into power.

#17 I'd have gone with the "Quisling's Noose" graphic myself.
