Again with "eh?"

Sam Rosenfeld of TAPPED:
Have Republicans in Congress actually come to internalize the “don’t cross the commander in chief when we’re at war” line they’ve laid on Dems so effectively to cow them into submission ever since September 11? Do they now believe their own BS? Secondly, the spectacle of one Republican senator and representative after another (and not just those in the party’s milquetoasty moderate wing) signaling major aversions to waging this fight now, only to acknowledge that they’ll likely fall in line since this is something George W. Bush is just so darned “determined” about, is as pathetic as it is puzzling.


Rosenfeld was responding to a quote by Tom Cole, R-OK, as reported in WSJ:
"The president is going to go ahead," said Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, a Republican leadership lieutenant. "He cannot afford to fail. It would have repercussions for the rest of his program, including foreign policy. We can't hand the president a defeat on his major domestic initiative at a time of war."


again, eh?
