You a funny guy, Matt.

82 House Dems and 29 Senate Dems voted to give Bush the go ahead. Iraq was a bipartisan war.

Senate FR Committee passed the Limited Syria Missile plan 10-7. Will go to Senate floor for vote. In other news, House Repubs are rallying in support of Ed Schultz's plan.

Thanks for that update.

Never thought I'd see the day when D's and R's both cheer on the bombing of a country and call it a "statement" rather than the act of war it is.

You're probably all sitting there thinking a few missiles at a few unoccupied targets in the middle of nowhere with zero civilian casualties.

One day the object of someone's "statement" will be the US and I hope you're just as agreeable to their right to make a statement on US soil.

Well Finn you need to put Pelosi next to McCain because "we have to bomb to see what's going on in there."
