My suspicions have been the same as the WSJ's. And I agree that if Democrats want to effect foreign policy change, they really ought to overcome their fear of nonreelection and just vote down Bush's defense spending bills if that's what it takes. But for many Members, apparently that's not a viable solution, and the only remaining way to end America's involvement in this horrible war is for congressional leadership to dangerously undercut this President's (note: not America's) misguided foreign policy, as currently by means of genocide resolution shenanigans.
So, due to our nation's dismal leadership, at this point it's down to a choice between the President's ongoing foreign policy disaster and Nancy Pelosi's own foreign policy blowup. But if one of those two has a chance of ending this war and curtailing America's ability to act in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East, that's the one I have to choose. Since all trust in our leadership has been eroded, the only thing we can now try to do to keep it from destroying our country is to limit its reach. And cutting off the Turkey alliance does accomplish that.
And who knows? Maybe this whole episode will finally bring a direly needed reconsideration of Presidential power and accountability in the sphere of foreign policy. And that wouldn't be such a bad thing.
Nancy Pelosi proved without a doubt she has no diplomatic experience with her little visit to Syria and in case you haven't noticed Congress is less trusted and approved of than Bush.
Since we are seeing progress and success in Iraq the hardest thing about it for ya'll is admitting, BUSH IS RIGHT.
Learn those words because as long as Petraeus and our troops continue as they have been, it is something that more and more will come to see because you cannot lie your way out of the daily progress reports the media is finally being forced to report.

Momentum has definitely shifted, and in politics momentum rules however now is the time to ratchet up the pressure. The blogosphere must all use their power not only to post about this but to encourage everyone to contact not only their own representative but Speaker Pelosi. That is what I did with my post and I posted my email to the speaker. I encourage everyone that reads this to email not only your own rep but Speaker Pelosi as well and then to post the emails on this blog or on your own blog.
Here is how I saw it...
