Republicans in the Resolution committee, wimp-ed out

Republicans in the Resolution committee, wimp-ed out, Norm Coleman, was the most striking, for me seeing he was so against, the surge, but as usual, he wants to quibble about nuances.

They don’t want the cutting off of funds, they don’t want the surge, so they make meaningless amendments, to gut even a non-binding Resolution, then when they have no more option and do not want the surge, they vote against the resolution.

Voinovich, Lugar, Corker, Berkley, Murkowski and 4 other Republicans. Coleman’s Amendment, wanted:

Coleman's amendment which would have made a distinction between areas rocked by sectarian violence like Baghdad, and places like Anbar province where U.S. forces are fighting insurgents. The amendment signaled disapproval of sending more troops to the former but not the latter. From the Mercury News, MercuryNews.com

Coleman is still in the Bush surge camp, he has not resolution to change course, he wants Bush to change course, but his TV sound bite was just that a sound bite, for the TV, he’s in big trouble back home, he voted with the president at near 98% clip for the last 6 plus years.

Republicans site the enemy is listening, as reasons to speak like there, a reason for there not voting to get the troops out of Iraq, it’s what I call speaking out of both sides of your mouth, with the public and the present majority in Congress, but the truth is The minority will talk loud and do nothing, but allow Bush to escalate, so they as a party can keep the troops in Iraq and conflict engaged, until 09’, they it will be completely the Democrats conflict to lose and LOSE will be the words, Republicans, Conservatives and every right-winger can and will repeat into any and all echo chambers.

After Bush leaves office, the “get us out of Iraq voices,” will be coming from the suddenly anti-war Republicans and they will point their campaign right at Democrats. Congress has to rein in Bush before; he finds a provocation to attack Iran.
