I can’t find the committee vote it passed 27 - 21 in committee it sounds like it is on party lines. Pelosi is yet to sked it for full house vote.

The resolution is valid and is supported by both (R) and (D) but it is the timing...

It is the more harm then good clause. If you are politically on the side of defeat in Iraq and you force a vote of this particular legislation you are basically stirring the poop pot. Turkey has already protested the legislation if it goes to vote in the House no Republicans will support it but the Dem Caucus can pass it and may cause events in northern Iraq to spiral out of control they know this and still do it anyway? I just don’t get it... Its sort of like a Senator confiding to some KGB agents of the Soviet Union during the Cold War that he will continue to pressure the U.S. President in order to undermine the Presidents requests to build up the armed forces so if they would just stick it out a little longer our country would fold first..

Sound familiar?
