or appears to be...or may be...you get the drift.

Were this a repig in office, they'd be screaming to bomb everything, and if we're honest, you know it.

They don't want to leave Iraq, they just don't want this President to have a successful (if albeit unseemly) military mission.

Pretending that they've suddenly grown a conscience is foolish
