You must read the latest column from Victor Davis Hanson. He provides a brilliant analysis of the pickle the Democrats find themselves in today, as a result of their inability to take a stand (and stick to it) on the initiative in Iraq.
Hanson is much more articulate than I, but basically, their problems include the following:
*They were for the war before they were against it.
*They run the risk of aligning themselves with the lunatic fringe of the Left.
*They cannot refute the progress we are making in Iraq--so they focus on U.S. casualties.
*They are not sure that the American people are ready to give up on Iraq.
*They are not sure how Iraq is really going to turn out.
This is why you see them doing crazy things like last Friday's vote in Congress--spending hours decrying the war and then voting overwhelmingly against a resolution to withdraw our troops.
