Who knows -- maybe the Democrats will be forced to let the troops win this one if the White House remains firm.

Democrats gave up their demand for troop-withdrawal deadlines in an Iraq war spending package yesterday, abandoning their top goal of bringing U.S. troops home and handing President Bush a victory in a debate that has roiled Congress for months.

Bush, who has already vetoed one spending bill with a troop timeline, had threatened to do the same with the next version if it came with such a condition. Democratic leaders had moved ahead anyway, under heavy pressure from liberals who believe that the party won control of Congress in November on the strength of antiwar sentiment. But in the end, Democrats said they did not have enough votes to override a presidential veto and could not delay troop funding.

The netroots are, of course, frothing, as are assorted moonbats doing fly-bys on radio and television broadcasts.

I just wish they would remember -- there is no substitute for victory.
