Hmmm....

Democrats say a long-standing rift in the party over the Iraq war has grown increasingly raw in recent days, as stay-the-course elected leaders who voted for the war three years ago confront rising impatience from activists and strategists who want to challenge President Bush aggressively to withdraw troops.

Amid rising casualties and falling public support for the war, Democrats of all stripes have grown more vocal this summer in criticizing Bush's handling of the war. A growing chorus of Democrats, however, has said this criticism should be harnessed to a consistent message and alternative policy -- something most Democratic lawmakers have refused to offer.

TRANSLATION: Our side doesn't know what it's doing.

FURTHER TRANSLATION: Our side is doing the best it can to ignore that the EEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL DUBYA still has OVER THREE YEARS IN OFFICE.
