The Senate passes a resolution against President Bush's new Iraq policy

It looks like the Democrat led Senate took President Bush up on his challenge today, by passing a resolution opposing Bush's planned to increase the number of troops in Iraq by 21,500.

The significant thing about the resolution was that Republican Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, broke ranks with his party and signed on to the resolution. He said that he could not agree with the Presidents plan to send 21,500 more troops into Iraq and risk increasing bloodshed by our brave soldiers and marines.

Unfortunately, the vote was mostly symbolic and not binding, however it was done in hopes to stop the President from making another blunder in Iraq. It appears now the only way Congress will be able to stop Bush from sending more troops into harms way is by the House of Representatives to withhold funding.

When is Bush going to realize that the majority of the Amercian people believe he is incompetitant and had botched the War in Iraq. Now is the time to begin a phased withdrawl of our troops and not a surge of 21,500 troops.
