Today is a remakable turning point in the war's opposition. Barack and Hillary (along with Chris Dodd, John Edwards, and others) are now in support of a bill that doesn't just set benchmarks, it actually cuts off most of the funding for the Iraq war by next year. This is a stronger anti-war bill than the one the President just vetoed. Just a few months ago, Hillary was talking about keeping a "combat force" to combat insurgents and Obama was talking about working for a comprimise bill to aviod a fund cutoff.
I'm glad that both of the frontrunners have changed their postion to oppose this war in stronger legislative language. Backing down when the President is at a 28% approval rating is very stupid. The time to press the Democratic agenda is now.
