Josh, I agree with you overall, but in truth the Dems didn't have the votes and the Republicans did a masterful job of painting the vote as not supporting the troups. The Dems were hurt badly by their lack of spine, but I'm willing to wait to see what spine the Repubs have in September when their jobs are on the line.
I don't look for hero's any longer in either party.
