Senate to debate a bill with teeth - NOW we're talkin'!

this is precisely the goddam dialogue that ought to be taking place and should have taken place a very long time ago... it's about friggin' time our folks in congress started talkin' about what they REALLY ought to be talkin' about rather than quibbling over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin...

The Senate has voted 89-9 to debate a resolution proposed by Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to withdraw most troops in 30 days.

Sixty votes were needed to defeat a filibuster.

AP reports that "despite the vote, most Republicans opposed the Democratic bill and it was expected to eventually fall short of the 60 votes it will need to pass. Even so, the debate would give Democrats a chance to put Republicans on record as opposing a timetable on the war at a time when most American voters oppose."

i don't give a flying goddam WHO OPPOSES or WHO SUPPORTS... start TALKIN', for real, up-front, out in public... let those who still support the illegal war in iraq show their true colors, and defend, if they can, why we went there, why we've stayed there, and why we should continue to throw away our last shreds of national honor over bush's lies...
