There were....until they had to act, then they bowed out.

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.

Actually, it seems Bush had already implemented his descision before the state of the union address, thus the congress was placed in a position of the No-Win scenario....as likely intended by the administration. They could not reverse something already begun without causing damage to the people put in harms way and had no real choice but to wave a piece of paper in the air and look stupid.

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.
