I'm not sure what S_A_M's issue is about "playing politics" with the war. The war is by far and away the most important to voters right now. If you check the polls, it comes in at 40-something%, and the next issue is in the single digits. Since Congress is expressing itself on policy but not tying the President's hands, what's the problem? How can they "push it too far"?

The hard part is exactly how the White House can think that the American public will take sending a few more troops to be "something different."
But then again, I didn't see last night's performance. Thankfully, as I can't stand listening to that man (try to) speak.
