Sen. Claire McCaskill said the all-night debate on Iraq in the U.S. Senate was needed to "out the Republican strategy on Iraq."
As quoted by The Hill:
Sen. Claire McCaskill, a freshman Democrat from Missouri who rode an anti-war platform into office, said Republicans have “figured out that their success is our failure” to pass legislation.
“We need to out them, and this is the first step in effectively outing the Republican strategy,” McCaskill said of the overnight Iraq debate. “I’m frustrated because I think we have not demonstrated to those who elected us that we are doing everything that we can to move President Bush from his stubborn position of denial about the failure of this policy.”
Not sure about the observation that she ran as a candidate with an anti-war platform? She certainly rode some reservations about the Iraq war to victory, I just don't know if "anti-war platform" would be the most accurate term to use.

Claire stated, "I’m frustrated because I think we have not demonstrated to those who elected us that we are doing everything that we can to move President Bush from his stubborn position of denial about the failure of this policy.”
Than why did she vote for another $100 billion in more funding without a timetable for withdrawal -- which she claims she wants?
Or here's a better idea. Impeach this president:
1. Bush lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq.
2. Bush conducted illegal wiretaps of American citizens.
3. Bush violated the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners of war.
