  What result were you people expecting?

  I am surprised at the response to this. This outcome has been known since the Dems took control. What did people expect?

  Did anyone expect Bush to experience some some sort of epiphany and suddenly supplicate himself before people he considers weak and traitorous? I think we all know he is far too small of a man to admit he has ever been wrong and anyone who expects it even in the face of massive unpopularity is simply naive.

  And that leaves only one option, but did anyone really think the dems would commit political suicide by cutting off funding for the war? Regardless of the current unpopularity of the war, anyone with a grasp on American politics knows that this would be painted in the absolute worst light possible - forcing the democrats to 'own' the chaos that would ensue. Yes - chaos. Pure fucking bloody chaos - almost but not exactly unlike the current situation - but this time it will be "because the democrats cut the funds".

  We do not need a Democratic party that is just simply going to martyr itself and hand control back to the people who started this mess. Its time for everyone to understand... Iraq may be Bush's mess, but Bush is not going to fix it or pull out, the democrats cannot force him to pull out, because its simply (and I brook no argument here) POLITICAL SUICIDE to do so.

  The best thing we can do is force Bush to own his war. Nothing is going to save the Iraqis and damn near nothing is gonna stop Bush from playing with his army men.
