Posturing on Iraq

Democrats, flush from their victory over the Republicans, are now gearing up to try to block President Bush's troop surge in Iraq. Does nobody in the Democratic party have critical thinking skills?

What will happen if they successfully prevent additional troops, or pull the troops home soon? A bloodbath. Who will be blamed? The Democrats.

What will happen if they graciously allow President Bush to "finish the job" his way? A bloodbath. Who will be blamed? The Republicans.

How long will it be until America gets fed up with both of these blustering, greedy, power-hungry parties and gives more political parties room at the table? Instant-runoff voting would be a good start.
