The Republican minority was successful today in blocking a Senate resolution against the surge in troops.
"We must heed the results of the November elections and the wishes of the American people," told Majority Leader Harry Reid to ABC News.
The vote was 49-47, 60 short of the required majority to pass a resolution. This is can be deemed both a success and failure for America. It continues to illustrate the great divide in American society about the war and the surge in troops. I think it is really important for the Senate to support the troops, the resolution in my opinion is doing the opposite.
