Is a "Non-binding" resolution the best tactic for Democrats to oppose increasing troop levels?

There are several things that I feel need to be said about this topic.

First of all Congress made a gross and flagrant error after 9/11 when they gave President Bush a "blank check" with which to pursue the supposed "war on terrorism." Both Reps and Dems made this mistake. Congress should have authorized the use of force against the terrorist organization that attacked us and then forced President Bush to come back to Congress for future authorizations. This "war on terror" will NEVER end.

Second of all I am getting sick and tired of people blathering about how the "war on terrorism" is the most important thing in America. It is not. There will always be terrorists and there will always be people in the world who hate is, get over it.

Third you CAN be patriotic and be against putting over 20,000 more of our soldiers in harms way, PERIOD.

Fourth this "non-binding" resolution the Democrats just passed is pathetic and weak. If they oppose the "troop surge" they they should cut off funding or throw legislative roadblocks in President Bush's path.

Enough said, I feel better now.
