Senate Republican leaders Friday threatened to block the Senate from taking up a bill that would put the chamber on record disagreeing with President Bush's troop increase in Iraq unless Democrats agree to allow Republicans to offer alternatives to the measure, reports CNN.com
The possibility of a filibuster does not surprise me. This is a long needed debate on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Congress can pass any resolution for or against the war and it would be fine with me if and only if members backing the anti-war resolution offered their own plan for success. If you cannot offer an alternative then you should support the only plan currently on the table.

An alternative has already been posted, Barack Obama has introduced legislation, The Iraq-War Deescalation Act of 2007, that offers a specific alternative to becoming more involved in the war
