7. Nice broad brush smear of "Democrats"
Except for two legislators with a (D) behind their name in the Senate, and a handful in the House, the overwhelming majority of Democrats have stood firm against Bush's occupation, voting repeatedly for legislation containing an end date.

I like the pressure that Krugman wants to exert on Democrats who MAY be thinking about buying the administration line, but I really haven't seen or heard any significant number of Democrats willing to accept that violence is down in Iraq, that the 'surge' is working, or that any reduction in violence in Baghdad justifies the continued occupation in any way.

What happened to journalistic integrity? Is it too hard for Krugman (and others) to actually identify the actual legislators who are standing in the way of an end to the occupation and address them, instead of yet another broad brush attack on the integrity of the entire party?
