First of all, the Dems don't deserve any credit for turning the public against the war. The public led the Democrats on this, by a looong time....the Dems followed the public's lead. It's not the public's fault or the Dems fault that this war has been run ineptly by the Bush administration. Bush gets all of the credit for turning the public against the war, by turning it into a disaster. We are facing the consequences of the ill advised war that the Bush administration chose to wage....incompetently, at that.

It isn't a matter of not having resolve, it's a matter of having no plan on how to succeed. Every day that passes without a plan makes it ever more unlikely that we will have any chance of salvaging something positive from this war. The responsibility for this rests squarely on President Bush's shoulders.....not a congressman from NY from the party that was out of power when this folly began.
