Shocking Tally of Iraq Civilian Causalities

[Occhidiangela]

Its a "gag" vote.
The Republicans made this vote happen just to show that not even Democrats actually agree with what Murtha said on Thursday.
(Murtha is a House Rep. who made a rather out landish call for the immediate removal of troops from Iraq and is getting an undue ammount of media attention for it.)

I am not sure Murtha didn't make this motion out of a sense of exasperation. Given his experiences in Viet Nam, and what has been shown over the past 30 years of research on the political military interface and how decisions, good and bad, get made, his speaking up is not unexpected.

THen again, one might want to investigate how he voted on the 2002 "use of force authorization" to consider what is going on, political tactics wise.

I still find VP Cheney's response to be cavalier.
