Senate Iraq War Policy

If you listen to the radio you may have heard about the 'Non-Binding Resolution' on Iraq. Congress is debating a bill that 'disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 10, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq.'

I encourage you to read the full text of the bill, found here : http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s110-574
It is really short, quite readable.

In short, what this bill does is..... nothing. Really. No action or legal ramification is associated with this bill. All it does it what you just read. Disapproves of the sending of troops. If you were a Soldier in Iraq, or if you knew someone there, how would you like to hear that all of Congress was opposed to sending you backup?

Personally, I think the war is taking too long. But if we're going to do something, DO SOMETHING. Send them backup and finish the job. Bring them home and let the Iraqis sort it out. But leave them there, and tell them that you think they shouldn't get any reinforcements? I think it is deplorable.

Let your Senator and Representative know what you think they should vote on this bill.
