Not really - the measure wouldnt pass, so its a politically smart move. Dems know this as well as Repubs. But Repubs are calling the bluff of the Democrats who (knowing the measure wouldnt pass) tried to out-chicken the Repubs, by "forcing" the issue to the table.

After the closed door session regarding Iraqi Intelligence, Dems had to know payback was coming.
