403-3

November 19th, 2005 at 9:38 am by Preston Taylor Holmes

The final vote on the cut-and-run from Iraq resolution was 403 against, 3 for.

The House on Friday overwhelmingly rejected calls for an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq, a vote engineered by the Republicans that was intended to fail. Democrats derided the vote as a political stunt.

“Our troops have become the enemy. We need to change direction in Iraq,” said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, a Democratic hawk whose call a day earlier for pulling out troops sparked a nasty, personal debate over the war.

The House voted 403-3 to reject a nonbinding resolution calling for an immediate troop withdrawal.

“We want to make sure that we support our troops that are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. We will not retreat,” Speaker Dennis Hastert, R- Ill., said as the GOP leadership pushed the issue to a vote over the protest of Democrats.

And who were the three? No surprises.

“Jihad Cindy” McKinney

Jose “I Tongue-Kissed Charlie Rangel!” Serrano

Robert “I Pay Tribute To American Veterans by Attacking Future Veterans Serving Now!” Wexler

I’m sure they still support the troops. Except in McKinney’s case – she’s never hidden the fact that she supports the wrong troops – those of al-Zarqawi.
