Same Old Course
On a  NWA opinion page now less…Â
Recently, Republicans in the U. S. Senate effectively filibustered to death a Democratic proposal to start withdrawing troops from Iraq.
The bill required President Bush to start bringing our young men and women home within 120 days, with the final troops out by April 2008.
Some troops would be allowed to remain to train Iraqi troops and engage in counterterrorism activities and protect U. S. assets.
The Republicans vowed to fight the bill, and did so pretty much unanimously. Only four GOP senators did not go along with their colleagues.

Yes, the GOP in the Senate ensured that Bush and his administration dodged the bullet this time. We wonder when they will see the need to do the same for our men and women serving in Iraq.
