One Guy's Viewpoint

This Republican War

Charley Reese, as he so often is, is right. The Iraq war is a Republican Party war. There is no real bipartisan support for it. While the Democrats, primarily returned to majority numbers in both houses of congress by a war weary electorate to get us out of this damned thing, talk the talk, their passion level is low. And Republicans in the Senate can-- and do-- forestall any bills that would change anything.

I used to think of this as George Bush's war or Bush and Cheney's war. I was wrong there. Bush and Cheney need-- and have-- the necessary party support and action to keep this awful, useless, bloody mess going on and on.

Here's a link to Charley's column.
