Chicago Sun-Times The scoop from Washington  Obama: Iraq media
blitz. Says "we're not going to babysit a civil war." Reid:
Senate move to nix Bush escalation plan will be "beginning of
the end" of Iraq war, "biggest foreign policy blunder ever."
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) poised for a 2008 White House run,
sprinted through a series of interviews Wednesday night and
Thursday morning in a mini-media blitz to react to President
Bush's sending more troops to Iraq. Interesting, in the NBC
interview this morning Obama, in response to a question, does
not say if he will support Sen. Ted Kennedy's legislation that
could force the president's hand on Iraq.  Democrats plan a non-
binding resolution that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
(D-Nv.) said will simply state, "Do you support an escalation in
the war in Iraq?" Reid predicted it would pass with at least 60
votes.  "I think that will be the beginning of the end of the
war in Iraq," Reid said. He added later the war was the "biggest
foreign policy blunder ever."
