I thought the key date was Nov 6, 2006

but apparently not, as the GOP still calls the shots in Congress.

Today's headline in the WaPo: September Could Be Key Deadline in War.

So what happens in July when Gdub reports to Congress that everything is coming up roses in Iraq? Does anyone think not voting to release the remaining funding is a tenable position?

And I guess by sometime in September, when Bush reports again that everything is coming up roses in Iraq, then the GOP facing the 2008 election cycle will then agree with 70% of the American public and will allow the Dems to pass a bill for withdrawal?

I think Polosi and Reid need to attend a leadership seminar. They've been in the minority for too long.
