There are only two sides to a line drawn in the sand. Those that are backing a non-binding piece of paper with words that say "We don’t like you. We don’t like what you want to do. We won't do anything about it, but we just want to let you know we don't like it one bit" aren’t even near the line. They are somewhere on another planet not doing anything that requires a spine.
I am apologizing in advance for going political again.
Yesterday the US Senate acted like weak-kneed traitorous fools. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution condemning President Bush's surge plan in the war in Iraq. It will show up for a vote soon.
It is a non-binding resolution that will give our enemy hope. It is a slap in the face to our President and troops. It is unpatriotic and cowardly.
Before you assume my stance on the war, please be sure you clearly understand my view point: A non-binding resolution is NOTHING. It means NOTHING. It does NOTHING except push a political agenda and weaken the President and our armed forces.
The US Congress should do one of two things:
1. Embrace the plan, support it, and stand on the side for victory in the war on terror
2. State clearly their opposition to the plan, and vote to de-fund the war in Iraq
Victory or defeat. Support or oppose. Back our President and troops for victory, or vote to de-fund the war in Iraq, end it now and bring our troops home. Those are the only choices for a true patriot- one willing to act on their beliefs.
Back to happy things now….

Hallelujah! Finally, some sense! What burns me is that there were several congressmen commending each other on their "courage" to voice dissent. Courage? Seriously? You signed a NON-BINDING statement that means absolutely zip. That doesn't take ANY courage.
Thanks Mike. I submitted this post to a blog carnival that calls for real Americans to stand up and impeach Bush. Will be interesting to see if it actually gets posted. I doubt it will.
