The Democrats Who Enable Bush
by Helen Thomas
President Bush has no better friends than the spineless Democratic congressional leadership and the party’s leading presidential candidates when it comes to his failing Iraq policy.

Those Democrats seem to have forgotten that the American people want U.S. troops out of Iraq, especially since Bush still cannot give a credible reason for attacking Iraq after nearly five years of war.

Last week at a debate in Hanover, N.H., the leading Democratic presidential candidates sang from the same songbook: Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York, and Barack Obama of Illinois and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards refused to promise to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by 2013, at the end of the first term of their hypothetical presidencies. Can you believe it?

When the question was put to Clinton, she reverted to her usual cautious equivocation, saying: “It is very difficult to know what we’re going to be inheriting.”

Obama dodged, too: “I think it would be irresponsible” to say what he would do as president.

Edwards, on whom hopes were riding to show some independence, replied to the question: “I cannot make that commitment.”

1. Amen Helen,

no truer words have been spoken about the Dem's as of late. When Helen Thomas says something like that the Dem leadership better be paying attention.

2. Bravo, Helen Thomas!

RUSSERT: Will you pledge that by January 2013 - there will be no U.S. troops in Iraq? OBAMA: I think it's hard to project - would be irresponsible. CLINTON: very difficult to know what we're going to be inheriting. EDWARDS: I cannot make that commitment.
Vote NO - War til 2013!

5. Russert is a rePIGlicken plant. He could not ask about removing the combat troops and leaving

Embassy guards. He framed the question to trap the candidates into a trick answer.
