House OKs Measure Opposing Troop Surge
By DAVID ESPO
AP Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Democratic-controlled House issued a symbolic rejection of President Bush's decision to deploy more troops to Iraq on Friday, opening an epic confrontation between Congress and commander in chief over an unpopular war that has taken the lives of more than 3,100 U.S. troops.
The vote on the nonbinding measure was 246-182, and within minutes, Democrats said their next move would be to challenge Bush's request for $93 billion in new funds for the Pentagon.

This is the first partisan vote on the war since it began:
"Supporters of the nonbinding resolution included 229 Democrats and 17 Republicans - fewer GOP defections than Democrats had hoped to get and the White House and its allies had feared. Two Democrats joined 180 Republicans in opposition."

It's ashame Bush missed it he was working out deals on the oil revenue sharing law.

I doubt it passes both houses and if it does pass I doubt it will be by a veto-proof majority.

Absolutely. And if they had the stones they would just propose a bill calling for withdrawal instead of some meaningless, partisan resolution.
