Leiberman: War Politics

Senator Lieberman:

Congress thus faces a choice in the weeks and months ahead. Will we allow our actions to be driven by the changing conditions on the ground in Iraq--or by the unchanging political and ideological positions long ago staked out in Washington? What ultimately matters more to us: the real fight over there, or the political fight over here?

Senator Lieberman has a insightful commentary. I think the answer has been pretty clear that what matters to most politicians is the political fight over here.
