Bush Wins Again

The New York Times had to do something it must hate doing: calling the President a winner. After their slumber party ended the Dems surrendered again on Iraq.

After Senate Republicans yet again thwarted a proposal to withdraw American troops from Iraq, Democratic leaders on Wednesday abruptly halted consideration of a major Pentagon policy measure, heading off the introduction of competing Iraq plans.

The Democratsâ€™ decision, coming after an all-night session and after more than a week of intensive debate in the Senate, meant that President Bush had essentially won the added time he said he needed to demonstrate that his troop buildup was succeeding.

Not surprising the Dems gave up. They are Surrendercrats after all.
