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

Exactly! While the neo-con cheerleaders snivel about the President vetoing this and such, it amazes me how much they gloat that the Republicans vote against the interest of the people.

It was clear that the American people wanted the war to end immediately after electing in a Democratic House and Senate majority... but the people be damned. These few and far in between supporters for a failed foreign policy taunt the rest of Americans by making sure they don't get what they want - an end to this war.

Screw what the Democrats say. Screw what the American people poll about the war. Screw what Americans want.

I remember when a President won by the slimmest of majorities and then proceeded to decree that he had a mandate from the people to carry on the crusade. Not that the American people clearly voted differently, the Vice President called Americans terrorist supporters. Quit an alarming reaction that differed so much from the previous "mandate from the people".

So yeah, I agree wholeheartedly! Kudos to the Democrats for doing everything they can in their power to stop the war to put the will of the people that started at the voting booths into action.

Meanwhile, the neo-con cheerleaders can gloat about Republicans continuing to give the American people the middle finger.

"SPECIAL INTEREST OR BUST!" says the Republican motto.
