Republicans Block Surrender (AP Breaking)

ASS press

[SoFloFreeper]

Senate Republicans have mustered enough votes to scuttle a proposed troop withdrawal from Iraq. A roll call is continuing and the vote is not final.

[SoFloFreeper]

This is EXACTLY how the "news alert" from the ASS press reads. I can smell the bias, can't you?

[Bigh4u2]

Yes. But in this case, they are right.

This bill, if passed,would have been a ‘surrender’.

[John Cena]

Yeah. Eat Sh*t, Democrats!!!

[TexasCajun]

Republicans Save Sunnis from Genocide by Iran!

[cripplecreek]

It should be interesting to see which democrats voted against surrender.

Senate Republicans have mustered enough votes

It should read:

"Democrat Plan For Withdrawal Fails To Garner Support"

or

Democrats Plan for Surrender Fails to Garner Support

[jveritas]

More importantantly the President and the Republican Party saved America and the world from the worst nightmare we can face since WW II.

[Blue Turtle]

guess being in the senate minority has its good points...

[Dan Middleton]

Referring to it as a surrender actually seems biased in favor of the Republicans to me. Not that I’m complaining.

[PGalt]

Harry POS Reid and his enablers are saddened.

"If we can't surrender we run the risk of success." -- Hillary Clinton and friends

These guys are doing thier jobs...Keep it up. We need the roll call to see who we can thank.

[TexasCajun]

Pakistan must fear a civil war itself if it turns OBL over to the US.

You just have to think we know where he is but politics keeps us from taking him, be it Pakistan, Iran or Syria.

[YaYa123]

Hilarious to hear Harry Reid complain about needing 60 votes. A wahhhh- A wahhhhh

Republicans just continue to block votes....it’s all their fault!!! 300 amendments and we can’t work in a bi-partisan manner.....”Dedicated obstructionists” yeah, that’s what they are!!!

[Kevmo]

We SHOULD withdraw from Iraq. See my tagline.

[Soul Seeker]

I don’t have a problem with this headline, it’s accurate and portrays Republicans who voted against withdrawal in a good light...though I doubt that was their intention.

Now, if smart, the Republicans will capitalize on this headline and start helping to reverse public opinion about the war instead of retiring to their Senate offices and letting the NYT’s dictate the tone until September.

What they did was good here, Leiberman included, but it’s worthless if they shut up and do not petitiion their citizens to examine the real facts on the ground and stay resolute.

Pelosi is deeply angered.
