True Colors
The real intentions of the Senate Republicans were revealed as they knocked down an effort by Senate Democrats to get a commitment from President Bush to withdrawal troops. All Republican Senators voted against this amendment. The Democrats who voted against this were:
Bill Nelson (D-FL)
Ben Nelson (D-NE)
Mark Pryor (D-AR)
A lighter measure was adopted.
Apparently, getting answers and re-affirming our troops that Iraq will not be like Vietnam was not part of the Senate Republican's strategy. They were really just bummed because the Democrats released their outline for withdrawal (yesterday) and wanted to stay one step ahead politically.
