Trying to stir up controversy where none exists...

You know quite well that 88% of the people do not support sending additional troops into Iraq right now...and I do not believe you can find any Democrats, DLC or not, supporting that proposal...

As you well know, the proposal by many Democrats including John Kerry during the 2004 campaign, and the Army relief Act in 2005, advocating beefing up the military was primarily aimed at taking the strain off of sodliers in Iraq who were being forced to serve multiple tours of duty,and to relieve the strain on National Guard units...a sensible proposal at the time, and one vociferously opposed by the Bushies as unnecessary.

I dare say if you asked the families of these soldiers what they thought about the Kerry, Clinton, Udall et al proposal they would have been for it wholeheartedly!!!
