WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 — Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, predicted today that no more than 20 senators would voice support for the president’s troop increase in Iraq when the Senate debates resolutions opposing that plan.

Mr. Biden and other Democrats also angrily contested the Bush administration’s suggestion that their criticism of the war was emboldening the nation’s enemies.

the look and feel of that veto-proof majority!

8. So if this is now America's war (latest RW talking point)

And America is 80% against it, as represented by the Senate, why is it still going on? No, this war belongs to George W. Bush, in toto.
