The want to stay until there is this no one can explain what it looks like, VICTORY. Rups are planning to use this issue as a way to undermine the President's war policy of moving towards disengaging (although to damn slow for me) and any other policy he puts forth. This is not a call to support the President's war policies. In fact we must push harder than ever to force a withdrawal. But it should be clear that this is one place that there is a difference between Dems and Rups, however small. MTM
