Same Fiddle, Same Sour Tune

The People's Republic of Massachusetts Senatorial Comrades are still playing the same obnoxious tune. You'd think they'd think of some new arguments.
"150,000 American troops are bogged down in a quagmire in Iraq because the Bush administration misrepresented and distorted the intelligence to justify a war that America never should have fought," Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., said Thursday.
and
"An open-ended declaration to stay 'as long as it takes' lets Iraqi factions maneuver for their own political advantage by making us stay as long as they want," Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said Thursday.
Not quite saying cut and run, but really close. You think with all their money they could get someone to write them some new material.

Then there is Sessions. His tune sounds like a replay as well.
With so many different ideas and so much criticism about how the war should be carried out, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., wondered aloud how it must look to America's enemies.

"It's undermining our nation's position in the world, encouraging the enemy to falsely believe that this nation is divided and leading the enemy to believe we may quit if they just kill a few more soldiers and Marines," he said.

The nation is divided on the war, let's be realistic on that. This won't lead the enemy to the Vietnam syndrome, they already believe that scenario is possible. I see no way to dissuade them from those ideas other than sticking it out.

Makes you wonder if they just read from the previous minutes of the Senate when these "debates" were held.

Wait, I'm confused... The Iraqis can make us stay as long as they want? I thought they hated us and the insurgency was all about them trying to get rid of us. Which is it?

I'm sure it's all just too nuanced for me.
