The Repugs have the Dems in a bit of a box; we all know it’s bound to be a pretty terrible situation if we were to simply cut our losses and pull out of Iraq. OTOH, continuing this folly means we’ll be expending American lives and saddling our grandkids with debt for no good outcome until someone finally musters the courage to say ‘enough.’

Unfortunately, whoever says ‘enough’ is going to get lambasted with the accusation that if we held on a little longer–Iraq would have blossomed into a democracy akin to New Hampshire.

Repugs are constantly whining about how Govt. should function more like a business. Yet, virtually every successful business recognizes sunk costs.

Showing unqualified support for the Iraq effort is likely seen as the only way the party can avoid being stuck with that tag.

I think the leadership is contiuing its foolish belief that the press will actually point out the Presidents failures and therefore the Democrats will benefit.
