It seems to me looking at it from a Brit point of view, they will most definitely try to make their lies sound more plausible

We are not going to pull out until the Iraqi oil is secure.
If you thought $3.00 gasoline is expensive just wait until the Insurgents start selling it! Worst yet those profits will be directed toward all the militias and al queda rather than the Iraqi government.
The US economy will crash and people will start getting laid off because their companies can't afford the petroleum based raw materials that our economy completely is dependent on.
Think about how much our our daily lives depends on oil. The plastics and rubber we use. The gasoline that our truckers use to deliver food and supplies across the country. I bet the plastic in your computer is made from Arab oil.
The federal reserve will try to raise interest rates in an attempt to control inflation but this will only make it harder for businesses to borrow money and choke the economy even more. We will go into a recession.
With world wide refining output already at the breaking point, any interuption in the flow of oil from Iraq will send prices straight past the prices we saw during the summer.
We can't afford to leave Iraq until the oil is secure. Trust me both parties know this.
It's going to be a while.
I know it sucks but this the reality of it.
I hope one day we will not be so dependent on oil.

I believe the Democrats will come into their new positions in January until then it is any ones guess concerning the changes that will come about. Iraq is a mess and it will take allot of time to clean that up. You also have to remember that the president has not changed. He is still in power and I am sure he still supports the war and will continue on that course regardless of what he says in public to the Democrats!

Phased redeployment. That the national guard and reserve come home soon, in a matter of months. That we leave a strike force in the Middle East, a special operation force, not in Iraq, but in the nearby friendly country where we can go into Iraq and other places where there's a terrorist problem. And that we redeploy some troops to Afghanistan.

"Are they going to pull out or 'stay the course' ?"
Obviously staying the course has been REALLY effective for the Republicans, hasn't it?

most likely somewhere between the "pull out or stay the course"...
you know... there are other options... the current strategy has been a colossal failure... as nation building goes... so a change of course... seems to be needed...
but I don't expect a full pull out either... but we'll see...

they will inform the public of what they are doing and why. they will give the public more information so they can be guided by true facts instead of lies and rumors. that is all we can expect any congress to do.
the president is the same and he is the commander in chief so the congress cannot order troops or anythng like that.
they will stop being a rubber stamp for whatever the pres wants to do and demand answers and reasons and so forth to attempt to influence pres but cannot order him one way or other.
that is what the difference will be. it should be enough.

They will have an intelligent exit plan so the insurgents do not overwhelm the government
