It appears that some who voted for the Resolution did so to force the USA to wind up the war, not to withdraw in defeat. But, this would be like forcing Pres Roosevelt to wind up WW II right away after Pearl Harbor as if telling China to get their act together in 1943 would result in some kind of success. The war, when initiated by the enemy, can not be concluded by the ones attacked except by military means or negotiation with the enemy. Since the present enemy lacks a person to negotiate with, military means are the only means.
The whole thing is disgusting. Left wing democrats control Congress now and it is only a matter of time before they drastically weaken us. I would be very happy to view Bush as the bulwark against them, IF he would stop kissing their rear ends.
