Howard Dean said it best when he said "What I want to know is why are so many Democrats supporting this Republican War?" The war in Iraq has been a Republican, neo-conservative undertaking from its inception, notwithstanding the fact that too many Democrats were pushed by public support for the war into granting Bush the authority to pursue it.

For what it's worth, I believe the neo-cons when they say they're reason for pursuing the war was to remake the Middle East into some kind of fantasy American Enterprise Institute. That war is lost. But the Iraq war has always also been a war on the Democrats. And that war the Republicans are poised to win.
