We can fix the steering wheel, but it's the car that worries me.............and the road it's driving on and the man that is commander of that car.

Plus, that car has already been in many fatal accidents along the road.

There's alot of blood on the fenders and it'll be tough cleaning up the mess!

That's not going to work. Bush broke it. Just because the Dems picked up the broken pieces doesn't mean they broke it. In the Pottery Barn if the fool next to you drops a vase, and then is ejected from the store, you are not then the one who broke the vase, just because you weren't ejected from the store.

I can understand why the republicans would want to become the party of "we broke it now forgetaboutit"- but it isn't going to work. This last election was all about remembering who broke it.

Iraq = Republican Fiasco. I told you before the elections, Republicans would get an advantage from Dems winning. Republicans are too incompetent to win a war or protect against terrorists or balance the budget or improve the economy. Republicans take and destroy what others have built, they get booted from power, they sit around and wait for others to rebuild and then they come back and steal and destroy yet again.

That's the Republican MO.

Iraq is Bush's war. Iraq is the Republican war. Baker is simply out to put a fig leaf on Dubya's history of utter failure. Dems will pick up the pieces of a disintegrating Iraq. Heck, even Iran will pick up the pieces of a disintegrating Iraq because someone has to and Republicans are all in hiding.

It should also be noted that the vote authorizing the war was bipartisan. The vote in the House was 296-133 and the Senate vote was 77-23.

Among the yes votes were the 2004 Democratic candidates for President and Vice President as well as the leading 2008 candidate, Hillary Clinton.
