The vote on the nonbinding measure was 246-182.
Resolution criticized President Bush for his decision to send more troops to Iraq is a rare admonishment of a wartime commander-in-chief.
"The passage of this legislation signal a change in direction that will end the fighting and bring our troops home," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said before the vote when she endorsed the measure that takes issue with Bush's decision to send an additional 21,500 U.S. troops into battle.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for Republicans to befriend, act like, and give in to, Democrats. What is the point of voting for these schmucks if they act like this? Oh that's right, we are Republicant's Frist, I mean first, above all.
Dems: Iraq Is a Defeat
Hopefully, the Senate will not allow a vote. McConnell is one of the real good guys.
Ron Paul - YEA (with the DEMS)
This is the 2008 Candidate of a number of NO RINO Freepers.
Remember that when you see them sliming other presidential candidates.
Infamy.
Exactly.
I htink your statement is incorrect. The dems arn on strong defense issues and other points. Not anti-war.
Rush in fact covered this one day on his program.
You have been co-oped by the MSM.
The 17 are probably doing the will of the people in their district. That's the real truth to be dealt with. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Thank you.
