Update: Dan Riehl chimes in:
UPDATE: (10:30 PM CST) Senator Menendez (D-NJ) is up now.
His message is clear:
Michelle Malkin has running-mouth updates.
The democratic surrender marathon is off and running…
Democrats pulled out the cots and the cameras and are going to show America that they are committed to cutting and running no matter how things are going on the ground!
Democrats prove again that when it comes to surrender- They can’t be beat!

The all-night political stunt is running live now on C-SPAN2.
What a disgrace!
Is it any wonder that this democratic-led Congress has the lowest approval ratings on record?
Would some surrender-crat please explain this: The senate today passed a motion (Cornyn Amendment):
“to express the sense of the Senate that it is in the national security interest of the United States that Iraq not become a failed state and a safe haven for terrorists”
-Via Michelle Malkin.
How does surrendering in Iraq at this time keep Al Qaeda, Iran, Syria, insurgents, Baathists,… from taking over?
Is this making any sense to anyone? Seriously?
Update: BG passes on the angelic demeanor of Senator Reid.
Captain’s Quarters notes John McCain’s valor in confronting Harry Reid on the consequences of his actions.
NonParty Politics has Boxer’s rant.
Update: Senator Joe Lieberman tells it like it is. His integrity is ever more appealing- “Some have said this is the only amendment with teeth- But, who does it bite?… This amendment mandates a retreat no matter what the conditions are on the ground… This is an amendment to embrace defeat in Iraq.“
Joe Lieberman shines on the Senate floor tonight.
Update: Jules Crittenden– “…Sooner or later, the Democrats will have to ask themselves whether they are doing themselves any favors by repeatedly demonstrating how impotent and irrelevant they are, when even the anti-war press is increasingly forced to acknowledge progress in the field.”
UPDATE: Black Group Calls Senate Leaders “Hypocrites”
UPDATE: Democrats failed to gather enough votes today to cut and run from Iraq. …Sleep well.
