Ever notice how the Republicans name things? Their nomenclature reveals a lot about their psychology. Making the best of a bad situation by strategically redeploying limited combat forces is called "cutting and running". Unprecedented increases in global temperatures on land in the sea that threaten to raise sea levels twenty feet is benignly referred to as "climate change". And stalling for time in the Senate at the expense of American soldiers is not called a "filibuster" but insisting on the minority's procedural rights. They can do no wrong, and will do anything to prevent their president from being conclusively labeled by history a failure.
Yes, we get it, Joe. The Republicans don't want Senator Warner's nonbinding resolution, they want Senator's Gregg's nonbinding resolution. They want it because it does not say Congress disagrees with the urge to surge. Both nonbinding resolutions say Congress should not cut funding for the war. Only in the District of Bizzaro can you be against a measure and still pay for it. Talk about intellectual dishonesty! Wake me up when the Senators begin voting on a binding resolution.
