I didn't think the resolution vote would be this close.

In reality, it's not even close.

(R's) have 15 more votes than the 'rats, if they need 'em and they won't.

Some good news from Iraq:

"Mission First"-Soldier With Guard Unit Finds Weapons Cache in Iraq
Williamsport Sun-Gazette ^ | November 18, 2005 | Mark Maroney


Posted on 11/18/2005 9:05:38 PM EST by Palladin


A weapons cache several soccer fields long and containing surface-to-air missiles, rockets, and roadside bomb materials used by insurgents, has been discovered in northern Ramadi in Iraq by a National Guard soldier attached to a city-based unit, Army officials said.

Sgt. Brian Packer with Co. B. 109th Mechanized Infantry Regiment, based at the Grove Street Armory, came upon the weapons buried in farm fields on the outskirts of the city Wednesday, an Army news release said.

Specific details of how Sgt. Packer found the weapons were not provided, but the commander of the brigade Packer is assigned to said the soldier's aggressiveness and alertness led to the discovery.

"It was not the technology that uncovered this huge cache site; it was an American soldier," Col. John L. Gronski said in the release.

Among the material discovered buried and prepared for use against U.S. and Iraqi troops were mortars, grenades, and night-vision goggles, the release said.

The Dems don't want to end debate.

SO, our FIRST message should be that NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT thought it was important to take a vote to correct the mistaken impression the newspapers got that Murtha wanted an immediate pullout.

Our second message we will know after the 2nd vote.

"it is truly one of those votes that can change a political landscape."

Yes, I agree with you. This vote will be refered to many, many times. It will sink several Dems in the future.

I can already hear it, "You vote against our Troops".

Reminds me of how little it really takes to become a US Senator! Sad for our country.

"I hate the press. Just had to say that in case you weren't sure. LOL (That was a real laugh this time!)"

I guarantee that the MSM will play up this vote as a RAT win and not the actual vote that will come after the vote to vote on voting takes place.
