Democrats and the War

The Politico: Interesting article on the Democrats and the Iraq War. In 2006 the Democrats won Congress based on a War that was not going well, and the idea that they could change policy without the need to go through President George W. Bush. The Democrats have found they cant stop the War, they have to may Conservative Democrats elected in November of 2006 and President Bush has the power to Veto any Bills on the the war that they can produce. The Politico writes the following, " Indeed, the only war legislation passed during this Congress has been to give the president exactly what he wants, and exactly what he has had for the past five years: more money, with no limitations. " The one major change since November 2006 is Iraq, the surge is working, the Democrats have dug themselves a major hole, they need things to go in wrong in Iraq to win. Not good politics at all for the long term. Iraq and 2008 Election just might be a positive for the Republicans.
