I've been ignoring the news about the Senate's debate on the pullout of U.S. troops that Democrats hoped would put an eventual end to war in Iraq.
I'd just hoped for a break though, and left it alone, thinking I couldn't afford to be so angry reading updates everyday on the proposal that got crushed this week. Sadly, Senate Democrats failed to capture the votes that would have enforced a deadline bringing troops home earlier than the Bush posse has planned, the LATimes reported yesterday.
