Anti-War Groups Surrender..
Keep in mind this quote from George Soros: “In the future, I’d very much like to get disengaged from politics,” Soros said at a Council on Foreign Relations meeting on the Upper East Side. “I’m interested in policy and not in politics.” I found it to be of importance when I read this article at Political. Here is but a brief excerpt:
In recognition of hard political reality, the groups instead will lower their sights and push for legislation to prevent President Bush from entering into a long-term agreement with the Iraqi government that could keep significant numbers of troops in Iraq for years to come.
The groups believe this switch in strategy can draw contrasts with Republicans that will help Democrats gain ground in November and bring the votes to pass more dramatic measures. But it is a long way from the early months of 2007, when Democrats were freshly in power and momentum for a dramatic shift in Iraq policy seemed overpowering.
“There was a consensus that last year was not productive,” John Isaacs, executive director of Council for a Livable World, said of a meeting attended by a coalition of anti-war groups last week. “Our expectations were dashed.”
The meeting, held at an office on K Street, was attended by around 20 representatives of influential anti-war groups, including MoveOn.org and Americans Against Escalation in Iraq, which spent $12 million last year opposing the war.
Isaacs said he thought the meeting would be a difficult one, with an adamant faction pressing for continued focus on timelines and funding. It wasn’t to be.
Food for thought: About 75% of Baghdad’s neighborhoods are now secure, a dramatic increase from 8% a year ago

Hmmm…
I am wondering where the SFL’s, the Edens, the Matthias’ and the like have been lately? All of the far leftist that used to like to engage seem to be scare nowadays.

Ted,
I think SFL and company have concluded that they can’t Bravo Sierra us.
Maybe Mattias met up with a Wahabist believer of the Religion of Peace and is now finding out the truth about God, Allah, and the afterlife.

Or maybe he filled up his bong with pure Hashish and is now in a permanent state of Nirvana?
