September 2005 could go down in history as the month in which Iraq policy finally turned around. By all indications, members of Congress returning to Capitol Hill this week will come back having heard, loud and clear, from their constituents that it's time to end the war in Iraq, victory or no. And it's not just Democrats. 'I've been hearing from a lot of folks on the Hill, from Republicans, who are worried about Iraq,' says a former senior state department official. 'They're calling me to ask: How long can this go on?' And when members of Congress ask, 'how long,' they mean: 'Can it go on like this until November 2006?'
