“We have troops in harm’s way. We cannot afford to send mixed messages.” With these words, Arizona’s congressman, J.D. Hayworth, threw the Republican gauntlet to the Democratic rivals, obliging them to take – once for all – a definitive position on the permanence of American troops in Iraq. In the next hours, the House will vote on a withdrawal proposal originally introduced, without any chance to be accepted, by John Murtha (D- Pennsylvania). Just to get a bit of media attention for the anti-Bush movement. The motion, on the contrary, was endorsed by GOP, with a terrific coup-de-theatre and a great amount of courage. The goal, self-confessed, of the Republicans is to push the Democrats to a corner and oblige them to take their own responsibilities in face of the voters. “We want to be sure – said Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert (Illinois) – to give all the possible support to our troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. We will not withdraw.” Now, after years of flip-flop, finally it will be possible to count the number of Democratic congressmen that haven’t still sent their brains to the cluster embracing the radical drift of Howard Dean & Co. Unless, of course, they will not decide to do what they can do best: hide themselves or run away from reality.

GOP: Iraq Showdown
“We have troops in harm’s way. We cannot afford to send mixed messages.” With these words, Arizona’s congressman, J.D.
