Well, maybe I overstated my case to make a point.  But certainly one reason many Dem "Bush Dogs" may be opposed to setting a timetable to withdraw from Iraq may have something to do with AIPAC's influence.

A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Booed Pelosi during her speech before a large AIPAC audience when she mentioned the need to withdraw from Iraq. No question that AIPAC sees Iraq as part of a larger transformation of the Middle East, through Lebanon and Syria, that ends in the subjugation of Iran. And who is to complete this little domino strategy? No need to ask.

Thanks for Frontpaging this, Steven!  This is the challenge those of us who want an evenhanded approach from our reps face:

They told me stories of it being impossible to convene a private meeting of Democrats who would want to challenge the Israel Lobby because when they had tried that they had found that every name of the attendees was in the hands of AIPAC lobbyists within an hour of the conclusion of that meeting and many of the attendees had been subject to immediate and intense pressure as though they had decided to abandon Israel (which they had not, nor is that what Tikkun calls for). And what they told me rang true: that AIPAC and the Israel Lobby had a large constituency of single-issue voters who would support a challenge to them in their next primaries, or possibly even in the general elections, should they not retain AIPAC's approval.

There are pending questions surrounding AIPAC: the Franklyn case for one, and should AIPAC not be required to register as a foreign agent?
