The non-bind resolution against the war in Iraq failed in the US Senate Saturday, 2-17-07.
There were 56 votes in favor of the resolution and 34 votes against it. 60 votes were needed for it to pass.
Conservatives take note: The Republican Senators voting for the resolution were: John Warner of Virginia, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Susan Collins of Maine, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Gordon Smith of Oregon, Olympia Snowe of Maine, and Norm Coleman of Minnesota.
Remember these names! Rememebr what they have done! Be sure that our troops know of this... and who, EXACTLY, voted FOR this resolution in both the US House and the US Senate.

I don't quite understand...
ReplyDeletevoting against the war on a resolution that has no power means you hate your country and the troops at war?

Anthony: It is a slap in the face to the troops and to the country. Plus, it gives "aid and comfort to the enemy!"
I hope you now understand.

Now onwards and upwards with a binding one that ties the hands of W. and possibly strips him of role as Commander in Thief! It's time to get this incompetent clown out of Washington.

Gee, Frank. You guys gotta figure out a way to get around that little roadblock called the Constitution first. He IS the Commander in Chief...not the Congress. Plus, if he decides to operate under the War Powers Act, which is federal law, woe be unto the Left.

he is completely incompetent and dishonest. His whole darn regime is. I can't believe the assult he has taken on the constitution of this country, and you still defend him. He lied about why we went to Iraq in the first place him and that "New American Century" nazi group. Maybe congress shouldn't fund it, bring our troops home and let the mercinaries (Black Water) and such do it for free. And let Kelogg group (subsidairy of Haliburton) do it for free as well.... No more war prfiteering by radical right wing facist corporations. Old friend do you really think he is doing a good job, on any issue, or are you just that partisan? It might help if you stop watching all that corporate media crap and watch some independent reporting for a change.
