The Iraq debacle handed Democrats a golden opportunity to deal the GOP a mortal blow and change America's flawed Mideast policies. They played it safe.
  • It was blown because they wanted to.

    They failed to stop the GOP plan because they support it. Folks like Arthur Silber have been pointing this out for some time, it just takes some effort from people like me to overcome the cognitive dissonance of (formerly) supporting the Dems.
