Actually, it seems to me the Dems are trying to do what they were elected to do, but are in this case.....Failing. They have placed before Bush a direction change, and he vetoed it. They then tried a compromise bill, in hopes of at least bending the course in a more reasonable direction, and placing some small measure of accountability into this war....only to face a second veto.
To place the blame on Congressional Democrats seems somewhat misdirected in my opinion, as they are fighting with hands tied behind backs. Knowing how the political process
(feeble though it may be) works in this country right now, an honest evaluation would give credit where it is due. I have a feeling that once Bush loses what little support his party still lends him, we will see the required change in policy and get out of this Clusterf@ck we call a war.
