As quoted by Rick Moran in his piece on the House vote:
“You really have two options here: One is that you can vote for a change of course here and say we’re going to find a way out of Iraq, or, two, you can vote against it and hand George Bush a victory,” said Jon Soltz, a veteran of the Iraq war and co-founder of VoteVets.org, a group that opposes the war.
I think that quote sums it up. There is an interesting ambiguity in Soltz's statement, though: does he mean deprive Bush of a victory in the House, or a victory in the Middle East? Or both?
