The Senate foreign relations committee took a shot at the president Wednesday, voting 12-9 for a non-binding resolution against the troop surge. Nebraska Republican Chuck Hagel was the only senator to stray from his party. The Republicans are trying to create their own resolution, reports the Washington Post. Senate Republican asked for "benchmarks to measure progress in Iraq and possibly a new diplomatic effort to end the war."
The troop increase is clearly the only way to resolve the conflict in Iraq, we need to put more troops in order to restore law and order. Until that happens the Iraqi government is powerless. These resolutions should only be asking for benchmarks, any words against troops will only hurt the United States more. I understand that many Americans no longer support the war but we all need to support our troops.
What do you think?
