Senate Dems Plan to Play Commander-in-Chief

So the big news of the day is that Democratic Senators are planning to repeal the 2002 War authorization.

Yawn.

As Dan Riehl notes (and I concur):

This is a lot of fluff and bluster but I wouldn’t look for it to ultimately have any real impact. Between the Republican delay tactics, a potential veto, a potential override and then a suit before the Supreme Court, all these idiots are really doing is distracting everyone from the work at hand to appease their cowardly, anti-war base.

While this silliness all plays out, things will go forward in Iraq. What matters is results, or a lack of them over time. If we can’t turn it around, we’ll be out no matter what. If we do, the Democrats will be left holding a losers hand come 2008.

Sad that a political party is willing to gamble its future on a loss by the US military, but not really surprising, given said party has been more interested in treason than national defense for almost two years.

Not to mention that this could be the staw that pushes Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn) to switch parties like he’s threatned to do. Which would change the majority control of the Senate back to the GOP.
