Is it as principled of a stand as Bush playing russian roulette with the troops in the middle by staying in Iraq? Someone has to take a stand for what is right (non-aggression), and, yes, they may even be called dirty names and blamed for unrelated events by doing so. If the Democrats truly wanted to get us out of Iraq they would do so, not cave to Bush. If the Democrats truly wanted to get us out of Iraq, it would be more important to them than being re-elected.
Clearly, it isn't. The compromise is all about political job-security, nothing more.
