Like I said, if they wanted to end the war, it could be over with a filibuster. You think we the people rule Washington?

I guess after the democrats have spent 2 years of talking about leaving Iraq, I am a little bitter. A speech in Chicago in 2003 is great, but you have no ideas the pressures that he will face to stay in. The "don't have the votes" argument does not work when you have the power of filibuster. Ask Mike Gravel... Can you tell I’m a cynic redeye? I guess after the democrats have spent 2 years of talking about leaving Iraq, I am a little bitter.

This only confirms my suspicions. The same rhetoric can probably be applied to the Obama campaign unfortunately. There is far too much money being made in Iraq to bring this fiasco to an end.
