Two more months of death on the GOP's hands

With the Senate pajama party over, with the Levin-Reed amendment sort of passed, yet still defeated, it's now clear that the GOP has no problem watching a few hundred more American troops die while they wait for the political cover offered them by the month of September. Disgraceful. Utterly disgraceful.

Update: It's not over yet. Sargent says:

Ratcheting up the stakes in the wake of the GOP's successful blocking of a vote on Iraq withdrawal just moments ago, Harry Reid just announced on the Senate floor that he won't allow a vote on the entire Defense Authorization bill until the Senate GOP drops its filibustering of votes on Iraq.

Stakes being ratcheted. I like the way Reid is playing this.
