Bayh seems to be some hawkish DLCer. Thanks for getting us into Iraq, Evan. You could have listened to the largest protest in history against the war before it started, but no, you're no leader.
Those protests were based upon the "we hate war" rhetoric rather than the "Iraq has no WMDs" or "There is no evidence to suggest Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks" or "An insurgency that is very difficult to combat could emerge in post-Saddam Iraq, thus pulling the country into civil war and making things really sh**tty for us" rhetoric. If anything, Bayh should have consulted with someone like Richard Clarke, not leftist anti-war protestors.
That being said, Bayh has recanted his support for the war (unlike John Kerry in 2004, who said he would have voted for the Iraq War resolution) and supports something along the lines of a phased withdrawl, which seems like a very sensible strategy.
