OK, it's simple now.

If you want to know the Democratic position on the occupation of Iraq, see the Levin Amendment.

If you want to know Maria Cantwell's position on the occupation of Iraq, see the Levin Amendment.

Of course, I'd rather see her name on the list of thirteen that voted for Kerry-Feingold...

The Kerry-Feingold Honor Roll

Sen. Daniel Akaka
Sen. Barbara Boxer
Sen. Richard Durbin
Sen. Russ Feingold
Sen. Tom Harkin
Sen. Daniel Inouye
Sen. James Jeffords
Sen. Edward Kennedy
Sen. John Kerry
Sen. Frank Lautenberg
Sen. Patrick Leahy
Sen. Robert Menendez
Sen. Ron Wyden


Just the same, that's over a quarter of the Democratic Senate at the leading edge. That's something.

Maria's vote for the Levin Amendment is something. too. Enough of something to make plain once and for all her differences with the stay and pay, lie and die course we're on in Iraq. You can fault her position for any number of reasons, from lack of urgency to insufficient contrition. Fair enough.

You can't say she supports Bush's war.

It's simple.

Democrats have a plan.

Maria's on board.

And the Republicans?

Still without a clue.

So, which side are you on?
