'Iraq Watch' Finds Strength in Numbers

'Iraq Watch' Finds Strength in Numbers

WASHINGTON -- It started as a one-man protest on the House floor by a hawkish Democrat disgruntled with his president's strategy in Iraq.

But the weekly "Iraq Watch" by Rep. Joseph Hoeffel of Pennsylvania has since found strength in numbers. A half-dozen Democrats now take the floor regularly to lambaste the White House at the start of Congress' legislative week.

I've seen this- Monday eve late, I believe, when they can get the House time. It had me on my feet.

1. Rep. Hoeffel is going to be the Dem opposition to Arlen Specter in 2004.
He will get my vote.

2. I've watched this a couple
of times, and was going to post on it myself. They're giving the chimp hell on a weekly basis, well worth watching.

3. The WH hadn't even heard of it
The press hasn't covered it so hardly any Dems even know. Glad to hear that you've seen it. We should post when it starts next time.
