Isn't it sad that Republicans are standing up for hours to make sure more Americans die?

Especially when many of them have said privately that they need to provide political cover to the White House until September and will likely switch up their votes then anyhow (information on Countdown tonight).
So they're staying up all hours of the night to fight for the right of having soldiers die for an extra two months.
they are sitting on the fence to avoid going on the record as being for/against
it's about protecting their asses. If they vote to stay in Iraq, and the September report shows no significant progress - they risk being tarred as a chicken hawk.
If they vote to pull out of Iraq, and the September report shows significant progress - they risk being tarred as a cut'n runner by an opponent.
so they prefer to sit on the fence and risk getting hemorrhoids
TAKE NAMES AND SPREAD THEM IN EVERY BLOG YOU CAN;ESPECIALLY THE STATE BLOGS. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT THIS STALL IS COSTING LIVES. BUT 5 YEARS TO MAKE EVEN A MINOR CHANGE IN THE EFFORT (ESP WHEN BRITAIN PULLED OUT 40,000 TROOPS) SHOWS HOW INCOMPETENT AND UNTRUSTWORTHY THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS BECOME!
they would switch their vote come September, was ... get ready for this, LYING. It's what they do. By September they will have rolled out their new and improved product, (outrage) so any promised vote switching will have become moot.
8. I wish I could get a copy of David Shuster's comments on Countdown tonight.
Whether or not they are providing Bush with political cover doesn't really matter. By them telling other Senators that they have essentially admitted to the murder of two months' worth of American troops and Iraqi civilians.
