Secondly, I don't want to get into this my party vs. your party jousting. Debate is healthy, critism is not. But I won't stand around and let people take shots at the Dems as the party of 'no ideas' when this is by and large George Bush's war. That fact is we have to move forward and collectively figure out a way to make this work.

It's not that the Dems have attacked him so much on his war on terror, remember most of them voted in favor of invading Iraq. It's that they aren't satisfied with the current results and the President's reluctance to change course. Those are the two biggest issues Congress and the Senate have. This isn't a Democratic or Republican issue, this is the general mood in Washington right now.

As far as what the Dems 'ideas' are for getting out of Iraq? Well, I think that all depends on which candidate you actually talk to or listen to. Let's face it, there are no good options on the table right now. The options are bad and worse. But they do all, pretty much, unanimously agreee that it's time to withdraw troops in a timely fashion. I think there are some slight differences between the candidates on how to do this and under what timelines.

You were talking about their idea on terrorism not the Iraq war so what is their ideas to fight terrorism?
