OK, let's have a look at this. If the war is in fact wrong, and must be ended, then why screw around with this non-binding nonsense and get down to the business of forcing an end to it?

And rather than get on with that important debate, we've pissed around and produced this non-binding Hallmark "We hate the war" greeting card.

Our legislators - or at least a majority of them - allegedly already know that the majority of Americans want the troops out. That's what their leadership campaigned on.

So if that is their actual belief, why are they wasting time and money on this nonsense instead of actually putting into action what they said their constituents want?

Well it's not enough for sure... I agree with you. But the momentum of public opinion is leaning more toward an anti-war sentiment every day.

This is more or less a warning to Bush. If he doesn't pull a rabbit out of his hat, and quick, he's going to be in a world of shit if he isn't already. He can't fight the will of the American people. Before this resolution, Pro-Bushies could argue that POLLS are flawed, but this resolution is a clear overwhelming condemnation of his policy that cannot be refuted. He is now officially bucking the will of the American people.

So he's on a shorter leash than ever. We will soon find out if our legislators have the balls to take real action and take the steering wheel away from Bush.
