The argument can be made that the Iran buildup is another Rovian ploy, a head fake, a distraction from Iraq, and that Iraq needs to be the main focus of Congressional attention.
I'm sympathetic to this position--after all, it's almost impossible to misunderestimate how Machiavellian the administration is--but I do think that the Democrats ought to be able to do more than one thing at a time.
Think of Iraq and Iran this way:
Iraq is a forest fire, blazing out of control.
Preventing an attack on Iran is the fire break that will prevent the Iraq forest fire from spreading.
Surely the Democrats can both fight a forest fire, and lay down a firebreak?

good analogy
But only a temporary firebreak.
We need to stop the privatization of the American government too.
But first things first. It's hard to drain the swamp when you're up to your ass in alligators.
