Rangel: War In Iraq Not Democrats’ Problem

Listening to Rangel one almost gets the idea that all Democrats wanted to on the war in Iraq is complain about it. Now that they’re in a leadership role and it’s time for them to come up with some solutions it seems like they’re wanting to take a step back.

So now that the Democrats have won control of Congress, what should they do about the war in Iraq?
“I never understand that question,” answered Charlie Rangel, the incoming chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. “You have a President that’s in deep shit. He got us into the war, and all the reasons he gave have been proven invalid, and the whole electorate was so pissed off that they got rid of anyone they could have, and then they ask, ‘What is the Democrats’ solution?’”

I guess the Democrats are going to learn that it’s a lot easier to be pessimistic and cynical when you aren’t charged with coming up with solutions.
