I want to make it absolutely clear what message the Democrats are sending to the country, the troops, and mothers of soldiers at this moment. I expect to get flamed to death, but damnit, they need to hear it every single day until something is done.
By the lack of real action (and no, a bunch of letters and petitions is NOT action, it's procedure), the Democrats are telling the families of soldiers in Iraq:
"Sorry. We can't do anything until after the 06 elections, and only if we win. Tell your children we said good luck."
