The Democrats Show Thier Backbone

The Democrats will hold a vote in the House and Senate to oppose President Bush's plan to add more troops in Iraq. The vote will do nothing in practical terms. The Dem's ran on the promise of retreating from Iraq. Now they are retreating from thier promise.

On second thought, maybe not. This seems to be typical of thier thinking

“If you really want to change the situation on the ground, demonstrate to the president he’s on his own,” said Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. “That will spark real change.”

The Dems must really believe that symbolic gestures will effect change. Lets try symbolic gestures on Iran, North Korea and the U.N.
