Pulling a Rove on Rove...

From the LA Times:

"'Our amendment does not establish a timetable for redeployment,' Levin said. 'It does urge that a phased redeployment begin this year, partly as a way of moving away from an open-ended commitment and a way of avoiding Iraqi dependency on a U.S. security blanket.'"

The Dems have finally coalesced around a strategy. Anticipating that Bush will reduce troop numbers before the Nov election (even as he is disavowing that), they've introduced a non-binding resolution to begin drawdown this year.

Putting the idiot-in-chief and his Machiavellian puppet-master Rove in a tight spot. If they draw down the troops, the Dems can say, "See, we told you so." If they don't draw down, the polls will be against the Repugs.

Did the Dems just maybe pull a Rove on Rove?
