TPM Reader SS on the senate squabble: “I think it’s pretty simple. Everyone voting today to shut this down “voted to support President Bush’s escalation in Iraq.” That’s the language I would bash them over the heads with for the 21 months between today and election day 2008. There’s nothing untrue about that statement. It’s a parliamentary tactic designed to support the president’s escalation in Iraq by silencing those who wish to criticize the President’s decision.”
