you said it- this is all about staging the '08 political season. The Democrats have placed their bets against the war, the Republicans have placed their bet on the war. If the war goes well, it is good for Republicans and bad for Democrats. If the war goes badly, it is good for Democrats and bad for Republicans. If you ask me, it sucks to be a Democrat in Congress right now, betting your political career that the US is going to lose the war, or at least be doing badly enough that the call for pullout drives people to vote for you. It sucks to be a Republican, too, hoping against past evidence that the Iraqi government can rise above the current mess and get a grip on the country so you can tell the voters that the war, whatever its cost, has led to a better future for Iraq and another democratic ally in the Middle East for the U.S.
Sadly, that is the state of affairs in the country.
