On national securities issues you still have to pick your fights and time your battles; if you believe the issue is not whether we should be getting out of Iraq but rather how we got in to Iraq and how the President and the White House behaved in getting us into Iraq, then the issue is how do you properly disclipline these people and bring them to task. You hit them where it hurts, which is in the election. We are not going to change the fact that we went in, and so finding a timing that displines the guilty more effectively is part of the Dem's job.
If this were instead about how to wage the battle we are now in, or when to get out, I would agree with you, electoral timing would be a very poor consideration, and delaying the issue while soldiers are at risk and a poor policy continues would be inappropriate.
