Debate Iraq!

Every Senator should stand up and clearly state his/her assessment of the sitution currently in Iraq. Every Senator should stand up and state his/her ideas as to what is in America's best interest in this War in Iraq. The debate is not on the importance of a "non binding" resolution. The debate is about whether or not the US Senate should join the people's House of Representatives in helping the president take control of the War in Iraq, which has killed over 3000 American troops, cost $400 billion dollars in treasure ($10 Billion of which is currently unaccounted for) and has put the United States in the most precarious foreign policy position in history. The 109th Congress ignored their responsibility as a co-equal branch of government and as the voice of the American people. The 110th can not make the same mistake.


Here's the Full text of the Resolution passed by the House of Representatives:

The Democratic resolution expressing disapproval of President Bush's troop increase in Iraq that the House will debate this week:
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 U.S. 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 U.S. combat troops to Iraq.
