I like the spirit of bipartisanship that seems to be coming back to the Senate- but I’m not so sure that I’m crazy about the results. A non-binding resolution is one thing, but a watered-down non-binding resolution with all language critical of the president removed is another.

“What is the point of a nonbinding resolution? Just another item for Bush to ignore is all I can see.”

Well, it’s just a fig leave for the Senate. Not worth wasting much energy in discussing it, right.

Yes, this non-binding resolution is a great thing. Once the Senators have finished drafting this legislation, they plan to get to work on a non-flushing toilet. After that, they go on to a non-working government…oops. That was the 109th Congress. Sorry. Been done already.

A good binding resolution would be impeach both Bush and Cheney. Then we can start withdrawing from Iraq and we wouldn’t have to worry about attacking Iran.

Polling shows a majority of Americans already support impeaching Bush if he wiretapped an American citizen without a judge’s approval or if he lied about the reasons for going to Iraq.

I respect the judgment of the Democratic leaders to recognize that working with Warner they can participate in a more powerful statement on behalf of all Americans.
