Here we go again. Classic Republican BAIT and SWITCH. Iraq vs. Iran
The DEMS took power in Congress because of opposition to the war.

Bait and Switch #1: Bush announces the Surge. Suddenly, the debate is about the surge, not the war.

Months pass and the debate returns to the war. The strategy worked with perfection.

Bait and Switch #2: Make everyone focus on Iran. Even journalists are working full-time on this ruse.

And, DU is falling for it head over heels. It will take many months to undo this one too!

1. Yea, we're falling for it, unless they actually start a war. I'm far from
convinced that won't happen.

2. Especially if the little SOB orders the bombers in
There are some very serious people who who think that's where this is headed.
