Democrats intensify Bush slams
By Donald Lambro
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
November 3, 2005

Democrats yesterday escalated their fiery attacks on President Bush's rationale for going to war by tying his decision to the indictment of a top administration aide in an aggressive political strategy that has energized the party's anti-war activist base.

A Democratic national security strategist said the practical effect of Tuesday's Senate maneuver could backfire and "drag down the Democrats even more than it drags down the Republicans."

Michael O'Hanlon, a Brookings Institution defense analyst who advises Democrats on national-security issues, said it was legitimate for the Democrats "to raise the broader context" of the special prosecutor's indictment in the CIA leak investigation. "But it remains dangerous for any opposition party to focus on scandals by the governing party. ... Reminding voters what Republicans may have done wrong will not reach the level of getting the Democrats into the game."

Fueling Mr. Reid's surprise decision for the closed session to debate Mr. Bush's war rationale was his party's large, vocal anti-war base, which is increasingly playing a dominant role in shaping the Democrats' critical posture against the war in Iraq.

"I have been waiting for this day for five years. The Democrats have found their voice, and maybe they won't lose it again," said Kenneth Lerer, co-founder with liberal activist Arianna Huffington of huffingtonpost.com. "Finally, they have said enough."

The left-wing Web site Daily Kos (www.dailykos.com) said Mr. Reid's move was "worthy of a Wild West gunfight. ... This move was pure political brilliance."
