Democrats Seize on Limbaugh to Distract from their Iraq Surrender

The Senate yesterday passed the annual defense authorization bill with little fanfare. Although it was intended to be the vehicle for any Iraq restrictions Democrats could come up with, it passed by an eye-popping 92-3. If you needed any proof that the measure contained little to provoke controversy, this outcome ought to confirm it. Speaker Pelosi meanwhile, promises that they will accomplish more on Iraq in the House of Representatives:

Pelosi criticized the Senate’s recent failure to cut off debate on a measure that would require military personnel receive time at home equal to that of their deployment, effectively killing the measure. The House approved a similar bill in early August. “We can’t go as slow as that ship,” Pelosi later added.
