Note: if you want more war, vote Republican.
Yes, yes, I know my comments aren’t fair. And I know that this resolution was a very poor attempt at ending the war given its non-binding nature and all. But then again, it’s a pretty sad statement that the Republican party isn’t even willing to re-arrange deck chairs on the Titanic. They would rather just plow straight into the iceberg, full speed ahead.
As for the Democrats, I can only hope that Speaker Pelosi is willing to shut down the government this year in order to stop the President from getting his funds for additional troops. Unfortunately, I suspect my hope is profoundly misplaced and not only will the President get his additional money, but he’ll drag our country into a war with Iran which will increase the world’s suffering by an order of magnitude or two from its current levels.
