Mike Littwin profiles Gary Hart's recent call to arms for Democrats in his column in today's Rocky Mountain News [August 25, 2005, "Littwin: Hart calls out Democratic fence-sitters"]. According to Littwin, "Do not let it be said - as you often hear - that the Democrats have no comprehensive strategy on Iraq. It goes this way: Watch, with silent glee, as someone like Cindy Sheehan calls out the president; Watch, with barely restrained glee, as George W. Bush's poll numbers plummet; Watch, with quiet dismay, as the Iraqis work to draft a constitution that - according to many secular Iraqis - could put Shiite clerics in control and limit women's rights; Watch, in dumbfounded amazement, as Bush insists the draft proposals 'honor' women's rights. And when it comes time to finally do something, you do this: Rush to the microphone to second the president on Iraq. You say, with no hint of irony, that, although you would handle things much differently, we must 'stay the course,' even as the course gets rougher and the options grow fewer and the blame assigned to Bush becomes increasingly loud."
