Phony "Leak" of the day:

According to a close Lieberman adviser, the President's political guru, Karl Rove, has reached out to the Lieberman camp with a message straight from the Oval Office: "The boss wants to help. Whatever we can do, we will do."
Source of this "leak"? A leak that will cement the idea that Lieberman is Just Bush Lite? Why that well known impartial observer, George Stephanopolis......

This is just part of a story that the author says spells disaster for the Democrats....
The invasion of Iraq was, in ways that have since become hard to dispute, a terrible mistake. There were no weapons of mass destruction to be dismantled, we had no plan for occupying the country, and our troops remain there only to prevent the civil war we unleashed from turning into a bigger and more horrific civil war. Just about everyone now agrees that the sooner we find a way to withdraw, the better for us and for the Iraqis.
But the Democratic "solution" spells disaster for the Democrats. Go to Slate and read it. It's 1972 Deja Vu.
