Quote:U.S. House rejects Bush's troop buildup in Iraq
By Susan Cornwell
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives denounced President George W. Bush's Iraq troop buildup on Friday in a symbolic but politically potent challenge to his unpopular war strategy.
The Democratic-controlled House voted in favour of a resolution opposing the Republican president's decision to send an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq to bolster security in Baghdad and Anbar province.
He can now blame the Dem's for (his) failures in Iraq, Repubs were obviously expecting this result. His hands are washed clean from Iraq. Who said he wasn't smart?

I agree with you. I thought the Democrat's non-binding resolution was a stupid thing to do. The only purpose was to establish each congress person's war statement for the 2008 election.

As if Bush ever needed a reason to blame everyone else for his own ineptitude. I'm sure he's been doing it for years. It's probably one of the main reasons he is where he is today.
