House Democrats introduced a war resolution yesterday condemning President Bush's plan to send reinforcement troops to Iraq, but their anti-war supporters say it misses the point because it doesn't simply cut funding for the war. "Congress disapproves of the decision" to send 21,500 more troops to the Middle East, states the resolution. It says Congress will "continue to support and protect" U.S. armed forces but doesn't address cutting war funds -- the only tool Congress has for ending the war. The nonbinding statement of disapproval was drafted by two senior Democrats, Reps. Ike Skelton of Missouri and Tom Lantos of California, and a Republican, Rep. Walter B. Jones of North Carolina, who voted for the war in 2002 but have since turned against it. House debate on it will begin today.

No stones. Pelosi and dems are all talk and no action.
They won't stop this war. In fact, if they get the presidency, Iran had better watch it's back.
I can put it really bluntly by saying that this democratic congress appears to wear a condom in an attempt to prevent responsibility. Oh, they want the sex, but can't bear the thought of actually creating the child.
I hope the leftys who voted them in don't feel to abused this morning when they wake alone.
Better watch who you pick up at the bars in the future...the Pelosi's and Kennedy's of the world talk the talk, but Mummy and Daddy's hugely megagigantic bank accounts speak louder than your pitifully tiny ideals.
IOWs, you are okay for a one night stand, but not okay for a merger.
I really wish I could tell the IRS not to use my tax money to fund their charades.
keep a list of the Republicans who vote for this. We must work to turn them out to pasture when they come up for reelection. Oh, and tell them so now.
We ought to send these Rats some cheese...for the cheese-eating surrender monkeys they are...and a strongly-worded letter condemning their aid and comfort to terrorists around the world.
Wonder when President Bush is going to issue his 'non-binding' executive order condeming congress for destroying the morale of our troops in battle.
We have only 18 months to get out of Iraq or there will be a Democrat in the Whitehouse in 2009.
I have a Democrat, Tim Walz that represents my district, but will do whatever I can to turn him out.
Question for them;
If you were serving this country in Bagdad today,
you think some re-inforcment relief would be welcome?
Yep, lied all about getting out of Iraq
to get elected,
now they stumble and bumble.
