..they are spineless cowards whose principles mean less to them than their hold on their positions of power. Standing up to Bush could have meant that some segment of the population would be angry with them, and they need to try to please everyone in order to remain in office so that they can hand out goodies to their friends and enjoy the cream.
The Democrats continuing to fund the war in Iraq should show everyone that they are exactly like the Republicans -- career politicians who tout principles but don't actually intend to live by them.
This doesn't mean, however, that there was any sort of real plan going into Iraq. It simply means that both major political parties are equally alright with flushing billions of dollars and thousands of lives down the drain.
