The NYTimes editorial board got itself so gleefully worked up over the prospect of Democrat probe-a-pallooza on the Iraq war that it left the truth in the dust.

Karl at Protein Wisdom has a withering rejoinder.

Meanwhile, Sen. Carl Levin is leading the 4-6 month Iraq withdrawal charge.

If you haven’t read Paul Mirengoff’s analysis, “What about Iraq,” you should.

And note these poll results, which aren’t getting much attention:

While a bare majority of 51 percent called the Democrats’ victory “a good thing,” even more said they were concerned about some of the actions a Democratic Congress might take, including 78 percent who were somewhat or very concerned that it would seek too hasty a withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Another 69 percent said they were concerned that the new Congress would keep the administration “from doing what is necessary to combat terrorism,” and two-thirds said they were concerned it would spend too much time investigating the administration and Republican scandals.”
