re: McConnell/Hewitt
Not only that... Did you see that Mc just did not get what the resolution would do to the troops? I was flabbergasted.
McConnell actually is playing the good cop bad cop game, here. Atleast he got all 49 republicans to agree to filibuster Warner resolution unless they agree vote on other 2 resolutions, which could be disasterous to the 2008 dems.
The only Senator that I think even came CLOSE to understanding what the resolution would do to the troops was John Thune...but even he wasn't as committed to stopping any resolution as Hugh or I would like.
McConnell gave a politically correct answer...our troops deserve better than that.
