Yesterday the Democrats were out

Yesterday the Democrats were out in force on the Sunday talk shows, urging a harder line against Saudi Arabia and supporting the overthrow of Saddam. Is this a sign that the Democrats are trying to get to Bush’s right on the war? Nah. They’re just spooked by the appalling poll results they get whenever they criticize the Administration on the war or come across as squishy. They’ve concluded that for now their only viable course is to be pro-war. But as soon as something goes wrong, as it inevitably does in wartime, they’ll have their knives out looking for political advantage.
