If it weren't for Nancy Pelosi and the House Dems...

... I'd be almost ready to think that we had to have a third party to get back to any kind of a pragmatic foreign policy. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was on ABC's This Week on Sunday. Apparently the transcript isn't available at this writing. But here's the Los Angeles Times report: Reid says troop surge OK, but only for a few months AP 12/17/06.

What does it take, what does it take, for the "people's party" (the Dems) to oppose a war that has become the biggest strategic disaster in the history of the United States and that has been rejected by 70-80% of the American public, about as unpopular as it's possible for a war to be?

And Harry Reid is just fine with the notion of escalation: "sure, I'll go along with it," the Senate Democratic leader says.

Has the spirit of James Buchanan taken over the Democratic Senate leadership?
