Democrats want change in Iraq

Boxer speak for us!

The Bush/Cheny Iraq policy is a freakin' disaster, the proportions of which most Americans have not, yet, begun to realize. But they will, when it is too late.

Democrats want change in Iraq - Yahoo! News:

"'The public is very happy about the fact that we have not been attacked since 9/11,' Sen. Mitch McConnell (news, bio, voting record), the second-ranking Senate Republican, said, even though polls show voters are weary about the war that's in its fourth year.

'Americans want an exit strategy,' countered Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif. 'The status quo is a disaster.'

The GOP-controlled Senate was poised to vote Thursday on two Democratic proposals to start redeploying U.S. troops from Iraq this year, a week after both houses of Congress soundly rejected withdrawal timetables.

Both proposals, offered as amendments to an annual military bill, were expected to be defeated, mostly along partisan lines."
