"Aware of the trouble Iraqi progress could mean for Democrats at home — House Whip James Clyburn recently said if the surge were successful, it would be "a real problem for us" — a revised set of talking points is being worked up by Democrats that declares the escalation of troops in Iraq has not been successful despite White House claims otherwise."
How is this supporting the troops?
If the surge is successful, how is that a problem?
How is this not making the war political?
A set of talking points about a declaration that says the troops have failed before the mission is even completed. That decision being based on reports that the mission is succeeding. Does it get any more politically motivated than that?
