Two Dems Get Ant-War Resolution Right
The House of Representatives voted on a non-binding resolution of surrender to terrorist and death squad militias operating in Iraq. From FoxNews:
House Democrats on Friday sent President Bush the clearest message to date on his Iraq policy by passing a resolution that opposes a plan to send an additional 21,500 troops to the war-ravaged country."Today, in a loud voice, the Congress of the United States said to the president: 'We need a new direction in Iraq,'" said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., after the 246-182 vote.
There were 17 White Flag Republicans siding with the anti-free Iraq Dems, while two Democrats stood tall on the side of liberty. The two maverick Democrats were Jim Marshall of Georgia and Gene Taylor of Mississippi. Kudos to them for standing up for what is right.
It is sad to see that one of the White Flag Republicans is Jim Ramstad of Minnesota. There is some hope that his district will field a real Republican and not one who is pandering to the "let's surrender to the enemy" crowd.
