"The full Senate is poised to consider the nonbinding, yet strongly symbolic, repudiation of Mr. Bush as early as Wednesday. Democratic leaders agreed to tone down the language in the resolution, hoping to make it more acceptable to Republicans in an effort to send a strong, bipartisan rebuke to the White House."
This is not the time for Bush to send more troops into Iraq, in my opinion. If we want to make progress, we need to work on bringing them home. This isn't to say "haha bush you're wrong" but they want to make it clear that they do not agree with his suggestion. I don't either. Sending more in will only be more incentive for the war to continue.

Very good point, Kerchie. I agree with your comments - now is the time for Bush to develop a realistic strategy to limit harm to our troops and a "glide path" to get them home. It is time for the Iraqi's to take responsibility for the internal strife and work these issues out....we will have no guarantees that they will not continue to do so in a violent way, but we must limit our loss of life now, while continuing to support a diplomatic, responsible solution there. It will not do to just pull our troops out completely..one reason being that there is a growing threat from Iran to destabilize Iraq; remember that these are two countries that engaged in a bloody war for many years less than 15 years ago.
