I doubt that we would be hearing any tentative plans for reducing or redeploying troops in Iraq if it hadn't been for the Democrats taking the Senate into executive session recently. That, coupled with the evaporaton of public support for almost anything this administration tries to do has forced them to content with some real world issues rather than their neocon dreams of world domination. At the same time their words (talking points) continue to represent their alternate reality. I believe that the Democrats must keep the pressure on regarding this war or the Bush neocons will slip back into their dreamland without concern about our troops' welfare. Perhaps, the Senate should hold Alito's nomination hostage to an orderly withdrawal from Iraq.
