Resistance

A top Senate Democrat introduced legislation that would require President Bush to get congressional approval before sending additional US troops to Iraq.

In a statement, the office of Senator Chris Dodd said the original US military mission in Iraq, which Congress authorized in 2002, "has been radically transformed by events in the region," and that Bush therefore must seek an entirely new authorization from the US legislature before expanding it.

Democrats have taken too long to provide any realistic resistance to the Iraq war.

Moral credit to Senator Dodd? I'm not sure. He recently announced his intention to run for President. Where was this courage before? Sounds like his ambition, not his values, are leading the way.

We'll have to wait and see if he gets sufficient support to make a run at this legislation.

Keep in mind- a filibuster is inevitable.
