Both Pelosi and Reid have come to the conclusion that President Bush's plan for
a "surge" in the number of U.S. troops inside Iraq, has failed and that
Democrats, despite losing their showdown with Bush and the Republicans over the
recent Iraq supplemental funding bill, must continue to force votes to end the
war. Gen. David Petraeus is supposed to report back to Congress in September on
the state of the "surge," but Democrats have decided not to wait for his
report."The surge is a failure, it isn't working," said a Democratic aide
familiar with the new initiative. "We just can't leave American soldiers out
there dying and not do anything."
These men are trained for their mission, most are proud to serve their country, and 'forcing' votes doesn't seem like an act of democracy we should be comfortable with.
