A while back I had this poll on the site:

At the time Harry Reid had pulled out to an impressive lead. After this I’m wondering if it shouldn’t be a dead heat.

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi challenged the president over Iraq by sending him a letter, ahead of a White House meeting later on Wednesday.

“As many had forseen, the escalation has failed to produce the intended results,” the two leaders wrote.

“The increase in US forces has had little impact in curbing the violence or fostering political reconciliation.

“It has not enhanced Americas national security. The unsettling reality is that instances of violence against Iraqis remain high and attacks on US forces have increased.

“In fact, the last two months of the war were the deadliest to date for US troops.

The letter appeared to preview a fresh showdown over Iraq between anti-war Democrats and the president, just a few weeks after Bush forced his foes to strip troop withdrawal timelines from a 100 billion dollar emergency war budget.

You two worthless wastes of space and air.

Bluto (The Jawa Report) has this headline: Dem Leaders Reaffirm Their Determination to Win War. The one line post nails it:

Unfortunately, they’re not on America’s side.

Mark Noonan (Blogs for Bush) has the best analogy:

This is like saying the invasion of Normandy was a failure just after the paratroopers dropped, but before the regular forces landed on the beach. Nothing so clearly illustrates the Democrats’ desperation to secure defeat in Iraq than their willingness to call ongoing operations a failure.

Again from the AFP article:

Pelosi and Reid told Bush in the letter that they planned to send him new legislation to “limit the US mission in Iraq, begin the phased redeployment of US forces, and bring the war to a responsible end.”

Here’s a concept that may be a bit too difficult for Pelosi, Reid, and their Surrender Monkey base to understand: A responsible end means victory and standing by the commitments we have made to Iraq and the Iraqi people.

The clueless hacks have a their same worn out strategy for defeat ready for another tired play.

On Tuesday, Reid said that Senate Democrats would attach troop withdrawal deadlines to a Defense Department Authorization bill, due to be debated within weeks.

I can only assume that there is a secret pool among the surendercrat set, who can get us to defeat the fastest. Winner gets to rename “Earmarks”.
