atrios linked to this article from the nation which seems to be a good follow-up on my post from last friday. the article is yet another example about how we really have no opposition party in this country on the issue of iraq--at least not among the people deemed the "top presidential contenders" by the kool kids in washington.
if the polls keep going the way they're going, the dems (or, a more remote possibility, some other party) will eventually wake up to populist sentiment on iraq and come up with a plan other than "stay the course." put another way, the great debate about iraq right now is not over small changes in the current indefinite occupation policy, it is whether that policy should continue at all, and if not, how to end it. the would-be '08 candidates are foolish to ignore where the electorate's focus is.
