Thanks for risking your lives to try for a representative government. Bye!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., shot down the suggestion of more troops within a day of gaining control of Congress.

But they're consulting military experts!

"Based on the advice of current and former military leaders, we believe this tactic would be a serious mistake," Reid said in the Democratic radio address Saturday.

What are their experts' strategy?

Instead, Reid and Pelosi want Bush to begin pulling troops out in four to six months.

Also apparently missing from Reid and Pelosi's statements:

• Their commitment to a representative government in Iraq.
• Their opposition to (or even assessment of) Iran's subversion. Or Syria's.
