The political   salvo was carefully aimed and expertly fired. But in the long run it   could boomerang.

In effect, it was so important to President Obama to get the   war funds that he was willing to paint a political target on the backs   of some of the gutsiest new progressives in Congress.

Because, according to conventional wisdom,   they’re the most politically vulnerable and the easiest to intimidate.
