"Finally, one of the top 2008 Democratic presidential contenders has the guts to take a major stand on the Iraq War. According to the Associated Press, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) is announcing his support for the United States to set a firm timetable for withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. Though that is a position that polls show a majority of Americans support, high profile Democrats have been unwilling to come out and make that stand. In fact, just a few weeks ago, the Democratic campaign committee in Washington is actually trying to pretend the Iraq War doesn't exist.
Feingold is the highest profile Democrat to join a group of courageous (though largely ignored) Democrats in Congress who are demanding that Americans' concern about Iraq are heard and acted upon by our government."-from the post on Sirotablog.
