Poll question: appropriations for the Iraq war -- what is the best political strategy?

What's become abundantly clear to this point is any practical oversight strings attached to the Iraq war funding invite a presidential veto, while most such strings squash the bill in the Senate, either through filibuster or outright defeat through a floor vote. There are even some parameters which would kill an appropriations bill in the House such as immediate withdrawal. At the same time, polls do indicate that Americans are very tired of the Iraqupation, with a significant minority favoring steps such as immediate withdrawal. If that angst could be catalyzed into something more active, perhaps the pressure to defund Bushwar would become overwhelming. And of course, there's always that remote possibility of impeachment and removal from office...

Keep in mind:

* Bush is not running for re-election in 2008, but maybe the GOP presidential candidates can be festooned with the Iraq war albatross

* 33 senate seats (a majority of them Republican) are up for a vote in 2008, where incumbents normally have a huge advantage

* all the house seats are up for a vote, as always

It's up to the Democrats what legislation will come out of committee for a floor vote in the House. In your opinion, which gameplan gives the Democrats the greatest advantage in 2008?
