4. This is the GOP response to floated compromise offer from Dems....
As reported in The New York Times:

"WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 — With a mixed picture emerging about progress in Iraq, Senate Democratic leaders are showing a new openness to compromise as they try to attract Republican support for forcing at least modest troop withdrawals in the coming months.

After short-circuiting consideration of votes on some bipartisan proposals on Iraq before the August break, senior Democrats now say they are willing to rethink their push to establish a withdrawal deadline of next spring if doing so will attract the 60 Senate votes needed to prevail."

Maybe now Dems will realize there is no negotiating with the mob. They'd better stand up to the mighty 28% and get the country back on the right track.
