Frankly speaking, I think you have the wrong idea about what is happening. It is crystal clear to me. Pelosi wants an up and down vote on condemnation or not of the surge in troops. --WITHOUT additional garbage items thrown in as would be the case if other issues or amendments were allowed. The republicajs did the same thing on other issues when they were in power. Perhaps you will note that each representative will have a chance to speak on it and other allied issues perhaps to be taken up later. That makes good sense to me.. "As is" it is a NON-binding resoloution on a simple question. How could changing the question find an answer to that question????
