This is not intended as a "hot topic" question. I just find it curious why the majority party accuses the minority party of "not having a plan" when it comes to issues such as Iraq, etc.

As a professional consultant preparing for court I certainly never gave my plan to the opposing party and certainly never received theirs. Why would a political party make this part of their campaign platform? Additionally, haven't outlines of how Iraq should be dealt with been discussed by both sides of the isle with sniping being the result? It seems anything the left suggests is labeled as "cut and run" yet we now are hearing the present administration is moving quickly to explore "adjusting" their positions on how we are going to move forward. The small pieces allowing us to read between the lines indicate a form of "cut and run" will be included in these upcoming strategies yet we won't learn the details until after the mid-term elections are done. One reason for not letting us know what lies ahead is there is not enough time between now and the elections. It seems to me we have had ample time prior to now to recognize changes in strategies are needed and could have been implemented. Do we learn, post-election, that we will adopt some of what the left has been saying for over a year?

When lives are being lost it just seems reality should trump political posturing and bickering.
