Right Side of the Rainbow

Hugh Hewitt:

Congrats to [Senate GOP leader] Mitch McConnell and the Republican caucus which stuck to its demands for fairness, and forced the Democrats to flee from the prospect of voting on the Gregg resolution. The whole sorry circus has now pulled up stakes and left town …

We’ll see what the House does, but the U.S. Senate will not vote to undermine our troops in Iraq. For that, we can thank Sen. McConnell, who has performed admirably — just as I knew he would. Republicans should be proud of him.

Now the clock is ticking on the Iraqis. They have until January of next year to get their shit together. That’s when we pull out. The GOP’s election prospects require that we be long gone from Iraq when voters go to the polls in November 2008.
