Practicality?
or perfidy
...a coalition* of anti-war groups is backing away from its multimillion-dollar drive to cut funding for the war and force Congress to pass timelines for bringing U.S. troops home. [aka: surrender]
In recognition of hard political reality, the groups instead will lower their sights and push for legislation to prevent President Bush from entering into a long-term agreement with the Iraqi government that could keep significant numbers of troops in Iraq for years to come.
..."There was a lot of agreement that this is really the way that we can best get our message across about endless war versus end-the-war and draw clear distinctions between anti-war Democrats and pro-war Republicans...."
So this is 1] an admission that The Surge worked?
2] a statement that they really don’t mind if Iraq blows up in sectarian genocide, is overtaken by Iran, or the ME turns into a huge, sandy Coral Island? [who cares about all those icky scary brown people, anyway...]
3] a stupid political stunt that *someone* hopes will get Billary elected?
4] _________________________________________
