Sorry Seretogis...call if "cut and run" if you wish...many Dem members just didnt see the benefit of playing russian roulette with the troops in the middle and IMO,that is a principled stand.

If Congress REFUSED to give in without a deadline and actually meant it, Bush would be forced to reconsider.

Obviously, you dont understand the numbers....
Bush would not be forced to reconsider as long as the Dems did not have a veto=proof majority (meaning Repub support which did not exist)
I can wait until the next go round in late summer when Congress takes up the 08 Defense Approp, bill and we shall see if the Repubs who have spoken against the Bush plan..but wanted 4 more months....will vote their principles or politics...if there is little or no meaningful progress in Iraq?
