I just got home and read the thread...I am sick ..and I didn't even watch the "debates"....
Cboldt...I appreciate you pointing out the "technicalities" of these amendments...and I know I am one of the 99% you referred to earlier...
Being one of the 99%, I must say that regardless whether the Warner Amendment "changes" the way things are done or not...the PERCEPTION is that the Senate has taken control of the war, in order to make changes....
which means in the MSM that they are "fixing" President Bush's lousy, mistake of a war...
THEY have handed the dems, media and anti-war crowd and HUGH victory today...and I am sorry if the "nuance" doesn't bother you, but it bothers me...
and you watch how this Warner Amendment is described in the media...and see if you still are blase about this..l.

I agree with you! I was listening to Rush (er, his guest host), just got back to my office, and my station here has CNN news at the top and half of the hour. Harry Ried is declaring victory, and the media, or CNN in this case, is calling it an attempt to limit the problems with this war, being Oh-So-Very-Unpopular, 2000 soliders killed, no WMD found, Bush lied, etc, etc.
They are spinning it, and we're doing what? Helping them!!!
Whether anyone here likes it or not, or cares to acknowledge it or not, we are at war with the MSM. The MSM are not fair, and are not here to tell folks what is happening. They have an AGENDA.
