7. You're right, it's the public mind that is the problem - they 'll never
hear about the Food and Forage provision over the din of how the "Defeatocrats aren't feeding our troops."

People are massively against the war, but those troops are a sacred cow and Bushco will make it all about that to the point where people forget about how they didn't want the war.

I for one totally understand where the Dems are on this. We may be stuck in Iraq until after the 2008 election and that's why we really need a President willing to stop the war.
