Anyway - I guess I am not a "lone wolf howling in the wind" and what I characterize as Washington double speak is alive and well. At this point even if they pass a resolution it will have no impact on Bush's plan. The reality appears to be that Congress would rather take shots at the President than act on what they say they truely believe.

The next test for Congress will be Bush's budget request for more money for the war. Again, I bet we will see politics at play rather than Congress voting their claimed core beliefs on the Iraq issue.
