Yellow Dog

Following a week in which the Republican Congress defeated Democratic proposals for withdrawal from Iraq comes this news that Baghdad has declared a state of emergency and that it's been one of the deadliest weeks for US troops, with 15 soldiers killed. Ironically, the media narrative has focused on how Democrats disagree on withdrawal plans, without pointing out that the party in power has no plan at all. Yep, the Republicans are unified all right--unified around their blind adherence to a failed plan to stay the course. They then have the audacity to accuse Democrats of wanting to "cut and run." That's better than their plan to "Stay and Pay" or "Lie and Let Die."
