Tom Cole opened with four points that need be recognized, and all of them had to do with Iraq...so the resoultion should be rejected because it's about the "global war on terror."

Democrats need to restrain themselves and not dog Republicans qua Republicans...but count the number of Republicans that try to jack Democrats in their statements. You get to close with something like "160 Republicans spoke and 125 of them made the specific point of attacking Democrats. They've advanced a political point without advancing a military or diplomatic one. Our friends being intelligent men, I think we can easily deduce their intent from the results."
