John Cusack is right, if Dems don't get us out of Iraq first ...

But where are the Dems? American foreign policy is in chaos. We are now left in the surreal position of having to condemn American-sponsored torture as official policy while a deranged President Bush orders his staff to attend ethics briefings -- a "refresher course" -- from the White House counsel. The very idea of America is in chaos and this chaos has created a vacuum. 

One question for any Democrat: Who will have the balls to get us out of Iraq? 

If the Democrats don't step up and fill this vacuum, the Republicans will. They will take us out of Iraq. And then the Democrats will be left holding the bag -- first as the enablers who let the Republicans take us into an unnecessary and immoral war, and then as the whipping boys who stood by while the Republicans kept justifying what was clearly an unnecessary and immoral war. They were so worried about positioning themselves as hawks, not being seen as soft on terror and war, that they lost the capacity for outrage when the person responsible for a legal memo that denied the validity of the Geneva Conventions was appointed Attorney General. And it was downhill from there.

1. Why didn't he mention Kerry's strategy for success in Iraq Act..

...that KerryGoddess posted on here a few days ago?

As a matter of fact, aside from the senate floor and the one blog it was on.. why didn't it make news?

Because- anytime someone like Senator Kerry, General Wesley Clark, any Democrat tries to discuss their plans for Iraq, we're the only ones that hear about them.

The media is completely deaf to Democrats.
