In reference to the second above: the Patriot Act has been renewed, the troops have not been brought home–again with D support for the President. Which leaves the Durbin quote–does it count that he was right??? And I don’t believe Durbin has come out against the war???

Perhaps I am parsing your words too finely–by obstructing I am thinking successfully blocking–and and by antiwar liberals I am thinking people who are voting against the war in terms of appropriations.

From Real Clear Politics

In my judgment, when history evaluates George W. Bush’s position in the pantheon of presidents, he will be compared with Harry S. Truman. Bush’s fortitude in recognizing the danger of Islamic fundamentalism to the U.S. and, indeed, the Western world, and his awareness of the need to win this war of civilizations is remarkable. He deserves the applause of all Americans and in time he will receive it.

Ed Koch sure has that right.
