The House of Representatives is expected to pass a non-binding resolution today opposing President Bush's decision to send more than twenty thousand additional combat troops to Iraq.
The House has been debating the resolution since Tuesday. As many as two dozen Republicans are expected to vote with the Democrats in opposing the troop increase. If the resolution passes, it will mark the first time Congress has voted against President Bush's Iraq war policy.
Speaker House Nancy Pelosi has also indicated she would back Congressman John Murtha's attempt to rewrite the president's spending request to limit Bush's options in prosecuting the war.

Let's hope they succeed, between the Katrina disaster, rising poverty etc. they have to stop the flow of cash down the rat hole, where as you know the rats chew it up and it does no good for anyone
Conyers and Rangel want the Gerbil and the Veep on a platter with some gravy. Those two are veterans of the Watergate era days.
