Well Congress is back to work and their top agendas are Iraq, the SCHIP, and the mortgage crisis going on.
I think what you'll find is that not a lot is actually going to get done on the Iraq front until you see the report from General Petraeus next Monday. What's worse is that even with positive parts leaking out into the wild world, you're seeing Democrats already trying to spin it towards getting us out of Iraq asap.
The same report will also be cited by anti-war Democrats who say military success has little relevance given the failure of Iraqi politicians to stop sectarian fighting and create a viable government.
Does the Iraqi Parliament need to get on top of things? You bet your ass they do, but to leave Iraq is indeed a vast mistake. With the threats we are getting already from other nations such as Iran, leaving Iraq without a stable government would be a big mistake by anyone who has a brain's measure.
