From from Paul Kane, on WaPo.com:
Very interestingly, Chuck Schumer and Dianne Feinstein told myself and Jonathan Weisman in separate interviews Monday that if Bush picks a consensus AG, that the spirit and drive of the Dem investigations into the US attorney firings would likely dissipate.
And from the WaPo again:
Saying the coming weeks will be “one of the last opportunities” to alter the course of the war, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said he is now willing to compromise with Republicans to find ways to limit troop deployments in Iraq.
…
“I don’t think we have to think that our way is the only way,” Reid said of specific dates during an interview in his office here. “I’m not saying, ‘Republicans, do what we want to do.’ Just give me something that you think you would like to do, that accomplishes some or all of what I want to do.”
Like withdrawing a token 5,000 troops, perhaps?
These are the people P.T. Barnum was talking about.
Why are the coming weeks “one of the last opportunities” to alter the course of the war Senator Reid? Don’t you think there will be more opportunities over the course of our involvement over the next ten years or more?
Sheesh
I should have said “ten years or until the oil runs out, whichever comes first” in my last comment.
