I sense that we've reached a tipping point

29. Bush was able to whip up a hysteria that resembles majority support

It is one thing for cowardly politicians to vote for a war when they perceive the majority of Americans are thirsty for some fresh blood.

It is another thing entirely for politicians to support a new war when the public really wants no part of it.

Each day that goes on will make that gap more apparent to the people whose arms are being twisted off by the Obama gang right now.

A couple of days ago, the "conventional wisdom" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) was that the authorization would pass, so a lot of Congress critters were trying to get the authorization worded as narrowly as possible.

But now they are starting to realize that once we make our move, it can quickly escalate out of control, no matter now narrowly the original authorization was worded. If Russia or Iran makes a strong move in response, then maybe it is on, and we'll be forced to escalate, you know, to show that we are real tough.

If the public is still at the 2:1 against point, this could get very interesting, and not in a good way for Democrats.
