You are so caught up in your own propaganda that you don't even understand what I'm saying. The article does state the facts : the Democrats wanted to focus the debate on their anti-surge resolution, so they prevented the Republicans from bringing their pro-surge resolutions to the floor. In retaliation, the Republicans blocked the debate, since they wanted an open debate to try and push their pro-surge bills. But now, some of them are breaking ranks, which proves my point that the Democrats can successfully wear down the opposition, although it's yet to be seen if they can get a vote on their proposal.
And don't complain about how unfair this is--the Republican majority in the last Congress was well versed in these sort of procedural tactics. This is how congressional politics work.
