Bullshit, you are not going to blame the mess in iraq or the increased violence on democrats. violence has been stepping up for years. And as far as that rediculous assumption you made, polling suggested that the reps. would hang onto the senate all the way up till the election.

I'm not seeing much in the way of democrats agreeing that more forces, not fewer are necessary to prevent iraq from collapsing into utter choas.

Remove the hammer??? WTF hammer are you referring to Hawk? The 140k troops that keep going back to the front lines because 60 million people will support a war as long as they don't have to fight in it? That hammer??

And Iran is already involved in this war. And for all any of us know, we could increase troop levels and the saudis would still have to jump in and support the sunnis.

I'll agree with you on one point you made. The only long term solution in iraq is to draw sunnis, kurds and shi'a into power sharing in iraq. For that to happen, we would have to dissolve the current government and then become there government for atleast 30 years. The admin had no plans for iraqies to hold elections when they first invaded. They did that as an afterthought and not for the iraqies, for our own country and just a different way to pacify the upsweel in this country that was rising even back then
