The answer is it really doesn't matter, because today they voted with the majority to fight this war like wars are fought. That is to say, not on a timetable but on an event table, like the President has been saying from day one. Not a minute longer than necessary. Further analysis on the Senate vote today here. The vote tally here.
They really aren't all that divided. All of them represent sending signals of weakness and defeatism compared to the administration's goal of victory. Wars are fought and won when one side loses and the other side wins. They are never won by backing off of the front lines. Come election time, I think most Americans will say they'd rather be safe than sorry, and stick with the leader who is committed to winning the war and keeping us safe by taking the fight to the terrorists.
If you are old (like me) enough to remember the Abscam bust, where politicians were videotaped in bribery investigations with people who they thought were Arab sheiks, you may also remember that there were 8 unindicted co-conspirators named in that case. One of them was today's premiere voice for the left, John Murtha. Robert Novak remembers, it was 26 years ago in 1980.
Murtha got into politics in 1968 as a 36-year-old highly decorated Marine and in 1974 became the first Vietnam War veteran elected to Congress. In 1980, the FBI named him as one of eight members of Congress videotaped being offered bribes by a phony Arab sheik.
The other seven targets took cash and were convicted in federal court. The videotape showed Murtha declining to take cash but expressing interest in further negotiations, while bragging about his political influence. Murtha testified against the popular Rep. Frank Thompson, which created lifelong enemies in the Democratic cloakroom. The House Ethics Committee exonerated Murtha of misconduct charges by a largely party-line vote, after which the committee's special counsel resigned in protest.
That and more good stuff in James Taranto's column today.
Best of the Web Today. Cut-and-run proposals divide Democrats. Plus John Murtha, unindicted co-conspirator! [OpinionJournal.com]
