As stated on the main blog, Rahm and his cronies are at the heart of the current cave in on Iraq!

Of course, there is also Reid and Pelosi and the others who have literally been the ones in the news. But, lets look behind the scenes, shall we?

The following is background information from the last election courtesy of the intrepid inside investigative reporter, Wayne Madsen:

November 13, 2006 -- ELECTION POST-MORTEM. WE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER, MUCH BETTER.

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) chairman, Israeli Defense Force vet, and ballet dancer Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois withheld campaign financing from several Democratic House candidates who were running on platforms that were not "vetted" and approved by his coterie of the Democratic leadership. The withholding of funds by Emanuel has been reported to WMR by unsuccessful Democratic House candidates across the country. The Emanuel strategy was at loggerheads with that of Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean whose strategy was to fight a 50 state campaign against the GOP with support for all Democrats.

It is now clear that Dean's strategy was the correct one and that of Emanuel and his fellow Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) anti-Dean partisans (James Carville, Simon Rosenberg, Joe Lieberman, Al From, etc.) was off-base and cost the Democrats an even wider margin of victory in the House and possibly the Senate as well.
