Let them do it. Enough already. The Republicans learned their lesson when we caved on their threatened filibuster of the minimum wage bill. We caved, gave them their tax cuts, and now they know they can roll us. Screw them. CNN just reported that all 49 Republican Senators have agreed to filibuster the Warner Iraq surge resolution if even more Republican demands are not now met. Which is fascinating, since John Warner just agreed to filibuster his own resolution. Warner has shown himself to be a typical Republican. The "moderates" don't exist anymore in the Republican party. They're spineless.
Let the Republicans filibuster the Democratic attempt to hold Bush responsible on Iraq. Make our frigging day. And make them a permanent minority.
