Breaking news tonight: According to the Associated Press, "Determined to challenge President Bush, Senate Democrats are drafting legislation to limit the mission of U.S. troops in Iraq, effectively revoking the broad authority Congress granted in 2002, officials said Thursday." [Read story.]
That's certainly an admirable move. But can it pass?
Last week we learned that the Senate couldn't muster enough votes to even consider a non-binding resolution condemning an escalation of the U.S. troop count in Iraq. So how could an actual binding bill have any chance of passing?
Sorry to sound pessimistic, but I also remain hopeful.
Fingers crossed.
