Yeah, let the whining from the right commence.

Last week, people were complaining about the non-binding resolution on Iraq, saving the Democrats were doing nothing. Now, it will be that the Democrats are doing the wrong thing, or that the Republicans will block it, or that Bush will veto it anyway.

Well, with a razor-thin majority in the Senate, there are definite limits as to how much the Democrats can do by themselves. To get this country going in the direction that most Americans now favor (that is, getting out of Iraq), enough Republicans have to get on board. But I wouldn't count on the Republicans to do what Americans have said time and again that they want to see happen. Hell, the Republicans blocked debate on a non-binding resolution! They will REALLY dig in their heels over a resolution with teeth.

Kudos to the Democrats (assuming they can agree on the resolution themselves!) for doing everything they can to bring our troops home.
