Michelle Malkin and Betsy Newmark highlight the Democrats' cognitive dissonance:
The Democrats on this committee and in the Senate condemn the plan that Petraeus put together. They're willing to vote (in a nonbinding way, of course) to voice their disapproval of this plan. But they're approving the guy who devised the plan and is going to head on over there to put it in action. And they wish him Godspeed as they do so. If they're so against this plan, why approve the guy who developed it and wants to implement it?Stop asking questions of Democrats, ladies. Its unpatriotic.

I don't think it's unpatriotic to ask questions of the Democrats, just unproductive. Unless of course you love to sit and listen to doublespeak !!

The General should now go and publicly tell them to shut up in that they are hurting the war effort. And he should do it every time the press sticks a camera in his face.

I don't understand. We are going to turn the heat up on the Iranians in Iraq. Therefore we tell them first? Doesn't make sense to me. I say kill the bastards and we wouldn't need to tell them. This first new policy is a poor one. Not impressed with him or Bush on this one.

Naive question. Because no politican wants to set themsleves up to be labled an obstructionist by the administration. The symbolic votes against the surge on both sides of the aisle--Democrats and RINOs as you would call them--is an age-old political strategy aimed at having your cake and eating it too. It says more about being a politician than being a Democrat.
