Good. Congress should not be trying to run a war. No doubt it would have been vetoe'd anyway. Funny how the real agenda of trying to cut and run instead of just giving troops more time at home wasn't played up in the media.

WASHINGTON - After a heated, all-day debate on the Senate floor that pitted combat veterans against combat veterans and one former secretary of the Navy against another, lawmakers failed to require the Pentagon to give U.S. troops as much time to rest at home as they spend in the theater overseas.

It was a significant defeat for critics of the Iraq war, who have been trying for months to withdraw troops over President Bush's objection.

Yes, the webb amendment will be a good topic for discussion.

Too bad you won't be around for it. Sock puppets are bad enough, but ignoring my PM to you about it is the last straw. You've been banned before, you've been warned, now you are doing the same old song and dance with a new account. Plus, you have been using your OLD account even after I warned you about the dual accounts and asked you to pick one.

MLE / FMFBDSM you are done here.
