On CNN right now: Carl Levin, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin and some other shoulders behind him talk about an amendment that's been accepted by the Republicans? They have big boards with writing on them so they must be important.
Details, complaints, and quotes after the jump
1. Something about the training wheels coming off of the Iraqi government.
2. We won't be Iraq forever.
3. Give us a plan with timetables, estimates, challenges, etc.
Purpose clause: To clarify and make reports about where we have been and where we are going when it comes to Iraq.
"Not easy for the President to admit mistakes. It's a lot easier to lash out politically." vaguely quoted from Harry Reid (D-Nevada)
Durbin's comments.
2006 will be a significant year of transition.
Accountability: For the Iraqis to propose a way to stand on their own and defeat their insurgency
Accountablilty US: This should be a quarter report for the Administration. To restore the confidence in our effort.
We agree on many things, one of them is: Change is neccessary.
"To suggest that the intelligence committee or the Senate had the same intelligence as the President is ridiculous"
Fucking CNN just decided to cut out of the Democratic press conference to go over the Talking Points that were thrown-up everywhere on Sunday shows. I hate them! God Bless CSPAN.
Is this an amendment to the initial move for a war?

Hey Kristin! You tell me to check out your blog qand I check it out... and you have a picture of my cousin Carl! (For real.) Anyhow. Hello.
PS... Cousin Carl is actually doing (and has been doing) a LOT to call Bush out on what's actually been happening in Iraq. And he's been pretty ballsy throughout his career if you give it a looksy. Just defending the family name. (Though I'd defend Carl regardless.)
