Voters clueless about Democrat plans for Iraq

In AP's post election poll the Democrats obfuscation on Iraq seems clear.

...

Though voters apparently embraced the Democratic mantra of changing course in Iraq, a majority of the public did not detect a clear Democratic blueprint for ending the war. Fifty-seven percent of all adults in the AP-Ipsos poll said Democrats do not have a plan for Iraq; 29 percent said they do. The poll of 1,002 adults has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.

That finding strikes at the heart of a Democratic dilemma. The party has been of one voice in criticizing President Bush's strategy for the war but has been more equivocal on how to move in a different direction.

...

No doubt, the election results have put Democrats in something of a box, said Stephen Biddle, a defense policy expert at the Council of Foreign Relations.

"It's a very, very awkward thing to run a war from the Congress," he said. "The public wants them to do something. And they don't want to go into 2008 and be accused of being the do-nothing 110th Congress."

The AP and other pollsters still avoid asking the most important question. Do you want to lose the war in Iraq? Perhaps they are afraid the answer want help the Democrats formulate a plan for defeat. Where would the Democrats be if a majority said they did not want to lose, but they did want a change in approach to winning? Now it is already too late for them to avoid the fraud that the Democrats have pulled on the war. The pulled it because they new if they were honest and went to the people and said they wanted to lose the war they would have lost the election.
