Democrats have no answers on Iraq and no interest in victory, only partisan games. Here is their leader on the Intelligence Committee, Silvestre “I Don’t Know Shiite” Reyes,
In December, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes stated, “We have to consider the need for additional troops to be in Iraq, to take out the militias and stabilize Iraq … I would say 20,000 to 30,000-for the specific purpose of making sure those militias are dismantled, working in concert with the Iraqi military.”
â?? Newsweek, December 5, 2006Chairman Reyes, however, has changed his tune. “We don’t have the capability to escalate even to this minimal level.”…Reyes, who met with Bush on Tuesday to review the plan, said sending more troops removes any incentive the Iraqi government had to take responsibility for the safety of its own citizens.

How in the world do you defend that? The good news for Reyes is he’s a Democrat, so he doesn’t have to.
