Dems Uniting Behind Criticism of Bush on Iraq
July 10 — John Kerry and other Democratic candidates accused the president of misleading the country on Iraq. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell reports.

WASHINGTON, July 10 — Two Democratic presidential candidates seized on the administration’s admissions that the U.S. presence in Iraq could be longer and costlier than expected to accuse President Bush of misleading the public Thursday, signaling that Democrats could be uniting behind an issue that until now had caused the sharpest divisions among the president’s challengers.

1. Beautiful!
And just when Rove has been trying SO HARD to divide them.

The dems division on the war could actually work in their favor. They were split, so it could be said that they made their decision seriously, and not just for partisan reasons.

The republicans, on the other hand, didn't seem to think about it too much, they just blindly followed their leader, which is looking less and less wise.

3. The Pre-War Split
I agree. Those that were solidly anti-war and voted against it can say "See, we were right" and those that voted for it can say "Well, we wanted to give the Chimp the benefit of the doubt, but he lied to us. We didn't think he would do that and he let us down and the country down."
