Still More About Bad Bets
Assuming this poll is correct the Democrats may well be heading for a disaster of their very own for trying to force a disastrous outcome in Iraq. Investor's Business Daily has the results of a poll they sponsored that shows the conventional wisdom the Dems seem to be trying to follow may be a phenomenally bad bet.
I have been saying ever since the election that the Democrats did NOT get a mandate to lose a war. They might really want to reconsider the path they have taken.

In Oct, Nov and Dec all we heard about was the Culture of Corruption, exemplified by Mark Foley. The pundits were invcredibly busy telling us that this election was not a referendum on the war. Yet as soon as it became apparent that the Democrats had no intention of ethics reform the media drumbeat shifted. Suddenly this was an election that acted as a mandate on the war. Why?

After th election Rahm Emanuel was saying that the Democrats won because Americans wanted change. OTOH, the nutsroots were claiming a victory to end the war. How is it that Emanuel’s message got lost? Look at how many freshman Democrats are Centerists if not actual Blue Dogs.

Man, I hope this is true. I honestly think this war is the test of this generation. If we fail, the consequences will be unthinkable.

Lars,
Do you think 160,000 troops is enough to win this war of the generation?
