I expect EVERY republican to stand on the floor of the senate, and argue that the person they just confirmed unanimously to be the general in Iraq NEEDS to be given EVERY resource he requests to win that war.
And since he has requested the 21,000 troops, that there will be NO VOTE on denying him the troops he says he needs to do his job.
To confirm a man for a position, and then deny him the tools he told you he needed to do his job, would be the height of irresponsibility.
The time to make your point about troops was in the confirmation vote. If sending 21,000 troops was BAD for america, then you should have voted to reject a man who was advocating something that was bad for america.
Now it's time for the republicans to stand up for what they just voted for, and stop trying to appease the democrats -- they are unappeasable.
I would actually like the Senate Republicans to just walkout when this farce begins. Do a Texas DemocRats act and just leave.
