Dems split on the war

Looks like the Dem caucus is split over whether they want the US to win or not:

The Surge is working. The initial success on the field by the American army is splitting the Democratic caucus in the House between those who want to Lose At Any Cost and the Weathervanes Who Follow The Polls.
