You tell me.

H CON. RES. 63

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That--

1. Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States Armed Forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq; and

2. Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 10, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq.

Bold is mine, it implies troops there are to stay, resolution did not call for immediate withdrawal. Have you ever read this before now? The troop strenth increase has been needed long before this, to oppose it now is to baby step willfully toward a defeated withdrawal. Leaving current troops flapping in the wind.
