The obstruction of the Webb amendment is incredibly frustrating and sad. As a commented noted yesterday, "You don't support the troops if you don't give them adequate time home. You don't support families that way either."
Sadly, Republicans even understand that they're working against the will of the American people in service of Bush's misbegotten war . . . but they still seem to be just a little deluded. To wit, the last paragraph of the NYTimes story on the vote on Webb's amendment:
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, who worked to defeat the Webb plan, said the Republican support for the war could have a political cost. "The Republicans own this war," he said. "If it goes bad, the nation loses and the Republican Party loses disproportionately compared to the Democratic Party."If it goes bad? If it goes bad??
What exactly is it now, if not "bad"?
