Raw Story is reporting that, according to Senator Feingold, Democrats will announce their plan for Iraq.
WASHINGTON -- Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) says Senate Democrats will soon introduce elements of their party's plan to resolve foreign policy with regard to Iraq. "You'll see more evidence of that coming out of the Democratic caucus this week,"
About freaking time. Will it be a call for a timetable for withdrawal? Probably not.
Feingold says some of his colleagues are warming to the idea of a timetable, but he didn't want to identify particular senators by name. He spoke to RAW STORY in an interview Wednesday.
"I don't want to characterize their minds," he explained. I've had a number of people who've said, 'I'm very close to your position. I'm almost there.'"
What are they waiting for?
Another hint that Dems may finally be formulating a party-wide message on Iraq is President Clinton's increasingly critical comments. According to
N.Y. Daily News, an interview that will appear in next month's Ladies Home Journal, Clinton uses the "Q" word:
WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton says Iraq "looks like a quagmire," and estimates "the odds are not great of our prevailing there."
We'll see what the Senate Dems come up with. Let's hope it's not just another watered down critique of Bush's handling of the war.
