you are of course correct…the congress has been ineffectual…but that is largly due to spineless republicans who don’t vote their conscience, or what they think is right, but vote by group-think – tow the party line. this applys to both the so-called war and the ag. on iraq…if republicans had voted along the lines of what they were saying the results would have been far different. same with the ag. not one republican defends him…but they make a political statement with their vote.
my second point is that before the election we had a terrible sec of defense, and a “stay the course” strategy from the white house. these things have changed drastically, although not enough to actually effect the course of this mis-adventure. this change has been due to the pressure exerted by the new congress. so perhaps they have not stoppped the so-called war in iraq but they have had an effect.
