Iraq War Senate Vote

I understand that there was some nashing of teeth about whether to bring the Feingold-Reid get-out-of-Iraq-now amendment up for a vote. It has now been decided to put it up for a vote.

I think it's excellent on a policy level and a political level. It's time, again, for Senators to have to go on the record as supporting the war, or not. I continue to believe that Congress should continue to put bill after bill up for a vote requiring everyone to go on the record, particularly the Republicans (and conservative Dems). That's like putting them in a vice and squeezing. And it certainly doesn't hurt to present the boy-king with further bills to veto.
