That editorial

It's real, and it's spectacular:

If that sounds familiar, it's how another Texan acted in another war. President Lyndon B. Johnson refused to be the president who "walked away from the table." Johnson became so obsessed that he scrapped his entire "Great Society" in his ultimate failed gamble in Vietnam. It took the nation too long to realize that LBJ was on the wrong path.

At this critical juncture, America must realize that this is our last chance to keep President Bush from making Iraq into our new Vietnam.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has a simple idea to keep this president in check: Make him ask for congressional approval for an escalation of the war.

The last Congress rubber-stamped this war, writing a blank check with very little discussion and zero oversight.

This Congress must do better.

Light posting today, as we are working a different schedule. We will be back at some point with a special message about "the situation down in New Orleans."
