So far all the Dems have done is gain control of Congress touting an anti-war platform, yet they have offered no true solution. This again is another piece of their "feel good" legislation. When will they learn?
It is more symbolic than anything else. It shows that at this time in our history our legislative branch is opposed to the continued occupation.
Symbolic legislation fixes nothing and costs taxpayers money. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the war, but this whole "we're puffing our chest out because we disagree" legislation has accomplished, nor will it accomplish anything. I still hear everyday on the news how the Dems want us to pull out - they've been beating that drum for a while. No one - Bush included - is offering a viable alternative or solution though.
I actually had a fleeting thought that it might have been in poor taste. Turns out, I decided it was merely "less than desirable" taste.
