One can't help but contrast what the Democrat "leadership" in the senate is proposing for a binding resolution on Iraq, a resolution that requires a complete withdrawal by March 2008.
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): “As Far As Setting A Timeline … That’s Not A Wise Decision, Because It Only Empowers Those Who Don’t Want Us There.” (Sen. Reid, Remarks To The National Press Club, 01/31/05)
SEN. HILLARY CLINTON (D-NY): “I Don't Believe It’s Smart To Set A Date For Withdrawal. I Don’t Think You Should Ever Telegraph Your Intentions To The Enemy So They Can Await You.” (Village Voice, 9/22/05 Via “Clinton II: Parsing Clinton’s History On Iraq,” National Journal’s The Hotline, 02/13/07)
SEN. JOE BIDEN (D-DE): “A Deadline For Pulling Out … Will Only Encourage Our Enemies To Wait Us Out.” It Would Be “A Lebanon In 1985, And God Knows Where It Goes From There.” (Sen. Biden, Remarks To The Brookings Institution, Washington, D.C., 06/21/05)
SEN. EVAN BAYH (D-IN): “I, For Example, Am Not In Support Of Circling A Date On A Calendar And Saying, ‘No Matter What, We're Out On That Date.’” (John M. Donnelly and Tim Starks, “Iraq Timetable Gains Momentum,” CQ Weekly, 03/12/07)
As my old battalion commander used to say, "this looks just like a monkey humping a football."

They did say it would be stupid to set a time limit. And, they are stupid. So what did you expect?
Envisioning when all that is Left is the Right.
What make you think they will be held accountable for some they said in 2005? The media does not even know how to us google for a basic search. They leave this task up to the people on Dimocrat blogs.
it's clear they changed their minds. Sad in this is the reality that they did so, not with the soldiers in mind, but their own political futures.
They must be repaid for being so kind to themselves.
haystack's 12th:
Conservatives (and Presidential Candidates especially) shall offer no aid and comfort to the opposition in times of legislative conflict (and ensuing political campaigns).
