The Democrats Want To Debate The War Now??

2,065 of our men and women have died since the combat began and the "mission was accomplished" about 2 1/2 years ago. NOW our Democrats, who back in 2003 needed to look as hawkish and deliberate in the prosecution of Saddam Hussein as the radical Republicans, are calling for a vigorous "discussion" on the war.

They're about 2,065 dead too late. Few others than Robert Byrd in the Senate suggested that we hold the horses, and give this a good thrashing out. But the Bushite's were so hot for war, that debate was fairly thrown out the window, questions were not asked with any verve about what turned out to be all wrong intelligence, and the old men, as they always do, sent Johnny marching off to war. To die for the egos of black hearted men in pin striped suits, most who have never been touched by battle.

So debate. And (God forgive me) maybe the Democrats will win the off year elections in '06, and some movement can be made to bring the kids home.

At this point, lets just declare victory and cut our loses. Or perhaps the soul of George Bush really does drip with blood.
