Aiming for a Major Issue

On Morning Edition today during the top of the hour round-up, David Welna offered this summary regarding the latest intelligence assestment on the Iraq debacle:

• "Democrats aim to make the Iraq war a major issue in the midterm elections."

Those manipulative Democrats, trying to make a major issue out of something as trivial as the Iraq war which was launched with some minor tweaking of the truth and some slight infractions of international law, and has cost a bit more than expected in money and lives. Can't those Democrats find a real issue to run on?
