MMhmm........so, Dems aren't responsible for the bandwagon they were on because they are now convinced that Iraq was a mistake that was doomed to fail.
Very interesting. Do you care to explain why it's the Repubs. fault for going into Iraq, when clearly the Dems joined in when it was politically popular to do so(therefore BOTH are responsible at this point whether Iraq fails or succeeds), but now that it isn't popular to be in Iraq the Dems. have done an about face and want nothing more than to turtle and hide here at home while we abandon Iraq to become a puppet-state of Iran?
What solutions do the Dems. have? All I've seen is complaints, and no real plans to be laid down other than turning tail and hauling a$$.
As for the Repubs.? Haven't seen much workable solutions here, and it's hard to come up with one when you're straight-jacketed by congress.
What I can clearly see from this, is that politicking has taken superior priority over the needs of the people and the security of the nation.
Changing leaders now will not accomplish anything other than changing the name of the president on this topic.
And as for your excuses:

I don't see how you can seriously blame the democrats for a bill (IWR) that was drafted and passed by a republican congress (meaning it would have passed no matter how the dems voted) and signed by a republican president, who 5 months later saw fit to re-interpret it however he wanted to and act accordingly.
I'm not saying the dems are blameless. As I said, they made the tragic mistake of trusting a President and trusting his judgement when he's since shown he's worthy of neither. But the dems did not make the decision to invade Iraq in March/03, nor could they have; Bush did.
You are trying to play a game of smoke and mirrors here and I'm sure republicans running for re-election in Nov will be trying to do the same thing, if they haven't started already. Perhaps this shell game might even work on some of the electorate. But I doubt it'll work on many. Most people aren't that stupid. As Bush said:
There's an old saying in Texas, I think in Tenesse too, that says 'fool me once, shame on.... shame on you... but fool me twice can't get fooled again'.
