Do the Democrats really want to end the war, or only look like they want to end the war? Their bills say “retreat”, but their words say “pose”, as Kathryn Jean Lopez notes at The Corner:
[Senator Carl] Levin described a relatively modest goal, sayin he would be comfortable if the resolution received at least 40 votes. He allowed that such a plan would backfire if the measure received several votes fewer than previous resolutions critical of Bush’s policy.
Apparently, the entire point of these resolutions is to tally how badly they fail in the Senate. The new definition of victory – for the Democratic majority — is to garner more than 40 votes. Now the Democrats want to define victory in Iraq as defeat, and defeat in the Senate as victory.
And Democrats wonder why people don’t trust them with national security?
