Waste of Time

So they passed their moronic resolution. Doesn't mean anything, doesn't cause any changes. Kind of like a political temper tantrum.

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That--

(1) Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States Armed Forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq; and

(2) Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 10, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq.

Passed the House of Representatives February 16, 2007.

So they have stood up and resolved that staying the course is their plan. Funny, they were against this right up until the point that they were for it. They must be for it, or they would have provided some alternative to succeed rather than alternative to ensure failure.

No real surprise that the new democrat jackasses that were voted into the house for NH voted with the herd.

I wouldn't call this a bipartisan vote either. There wasn't a majority of Repubs voting in support of this, and there were even a couple of dems who ventured away from the party dictates.
