Democrats

The new Democrat majority is happy that the president finally made up his mind to send more troops. Now they know what to oppose:

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 -- As President Bush prepares to present his new strategy on Iraq to the American people, Democratic Congressional leaders said today they will fight any approach that calls for deploying more United States troops there.

“We want to do everything we can to help Iraq succeed in the future but, like many of our senior military leaders, we do not believe that adding more U.S. combat troops contributes to success,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Senate majority leader, wrote to Mr. Bush.

So those who criticized the president for not sending enough in the first place -- and here I'm thinking about two especially, the new star Obama and the burn out Kerry -- those people will have to "evolve" their views. The president didn't project enough force, and he projected too much, using both too many troops and not enough. Ah, the Democrat stance emerges...
