Sometimes doing nothing is more honorable and more beneficial than "just doing SOMETHING." Ever hear of a strike? Refusing to work is a very effective way of making someone reconsider their position. If Congress REFUSED to give in without a deadline and actually meant it, Bush would be forced to reconsider.
Instead, appropriately, Democrats cut-and-ran from their own supposed principles.
