15. I say that mostly for media consumption
I think most of the Democrats in Congress "get it." And I think most of the populace "gets it." What I want to see is someone or a group of someones (figuratively) pinning down the administration, covering it with fire ants, and demanding specific answers to specific questions. And then repeating those answers over and over again over the next 90 days, so that when those specifics don't pan out (as you and I both know they won't), there isn't an escape hatch or wiggle room. Hammer the popular media, and in turn demand that the popular media hammer the stone-brains about what "progress" is supposed to look like in Iraq (by their own definition), and how what's there now ain't it.

Then the next step is building the pressure to cut off funding for this failed invasion, bringing the surviving troops home, and holding those responsible for this debacle to account.
