Of all the depressing news, this is the worst, I think, the fact that the Democrats are announcing that once the killing starts they will stop talking about the war. Even hopeful Howard Dean and Shrub critic Paul Begala are planning to shut up at the moment when outrage will be at its highest.
So face it: for all the millions who will be marching on Saturday and holding a vigil on Sunday, we have nobody high enough in the Dems to represent us. Cowards!
The Monkey King will soon be, as far as some lawsuits (and the Pope) are concerned, a war criminal, with the blood of thousand of Iraqis on his hands. And to tell him in advance that we won't say a word about it...well, that makes you complicit.
