To counter the lies that this is Bush's war and that we are there by deceit.

For the case of the Senate, the resolution was built from what John Kerry was building in his bill. But the republicans decided to remove all the wizzy worded stuff and put the subject to a vote.

In the House, I suspect that this was a move to counter a lot of the DemocRat representatives who seem to be getting a lot of press coverage for the anti war stance. So to calm the rhetoric down, to stop the anti war senators and congressman from standing in front of a camera, this issue was put to a vote. I was also done as a "where do you stand" point that will be used when the reelections of the officials happen in November.
