The recent Senate vote to require regular reports from the White House detailing all the wonderful 'progress' we're making over there was more reflective of a desire to cover their a... as election time approaches than it was of growing antiwar sentiment in the U.S. Congress. This, after all, is substantially the same group of fools who voted overwhelmingly to authorize the invasion of Iraq in the first place, and pretty much stood by and did nothing even as the majority of Americans turned against the war. What makes this a surprise, however, is that the competition between the two parties was limited, during the debate over the resolution, to who came up with the idea first. Remember when almost no one dared oppose the war, at least in public, and news anchors were wearing American flags on their lapels as they breathlessly 'reported' our glorious 'victory?' The times, they sure are a' changin'!
