Democrats the Phoney Anti-War party

In October of 2002 when they had a chance to make a difference they were to cowardly to oppose the president because they thought the same thing Bush thought, i. e. We will have a quick victory, install a friendly government and be gone in 12 to 18 months tops. The Democrats dilemma then was - What happens if they get caught on the wrong side of history. They would look like a bunch of doomsayers at a time of quick and easy victory. They were as shortsighted as Bush. They may not have had all the information that Bush had but it did not take Daily Intelligence Briefings to see the potential pitfalls. None of the past or present candidates who were serving at the time had the foresight to challenge the Administration on the implications of this belligerence. All the huffing and harrumping still resulted in positive votes by all the key Democrats. Kucinich voted against it and demands immediate withdrawal. While I like this proposal I can not see how it works without doing even more irreparable damage to US foreign interests.
My not so thorough review of the candidates reveals to me only two who have taken the time to outline plans for extricating ourselves from this debacle. At least they have thought hard about it and put out a plan. Anyone still hemming and hawing out there is in effect supporting Bush. This includes the media darlings of the Democratic party. They need to take a hard look at themselves. http://www.nytimes.com/ref/us/politics/IRAQPOSITIONS.html
