14. Plan B
The Democrats sent a bill to bush knowing that it would be vetoed, and yet, they had not developed a counter punch before hand. This non-move was mysteriously weak considering they knew what would happen.

Also, since the original bill had excepted three types of troops that would not be covered by the drawdown date 1) troops for training 2) troops to fight Al-Qaeda and 3) troops to support those troops, why did the Democrats fail to emphasize this point. BTW, those 3 groups would just about continue the same troop levels we have today.

So we have a so-so bill to begin with that was not explained (sold) and a plan that was not a plan. No Plan B.
