Congressional Democrats realize they are screwed on Iraq as long as they keep wishing, in spite of evidence to the contrary, we would lose and surrender Iraq to al-Qaeda. The reality coming into view for them is so unnerving they are looking to the GOP to bail them out of their self-made mess:

its a mixed picture emerging about progress in Iraq, Senate Democratic leaders are showing a new openness to compromise as they try to attract Republican support for forcing at least modest troop withdrawals in the coming months.

The Chicken Littles have woken up from their fantasies of US defeat in Iraq. Sorry, but after months of wishing for failure, and attempting to insure it by cutting off troop funds many times, I think the Surrendercrats can stew in their juices for the next 10-15 years. They created this mess, they need to admit they made mistakes. Do what you preach others to do Dems – admit you made mistakes and your mistakes made Iraq bloodier and deadlier as al-Qaeda read your cues as a reason to ramp up their massacres of Iraqis to support your doom and gloom cause. Admit redeployment was wrong and attempting to defund the surge was wrong. Admit it, you will feel much better.
