And don't say they don't want to waste precious time. They have no qualms about wasting time on anti-flag burning amendments and anti-gay amendments and prayer in school amendments.

Read the news people. Republican Senators keep voting to prevent debate on the Iraq war.
It is the job of congress to declare war so of course they should be able to debate it.

It really has me baffled. However, I did get a chance to view a video regarding how terrorists think.
I received it via email from the Family Research Council in D.C. I am just wondering if or not the senate saw this interview or not. Maybe they should drop the issues that can wait, and start looking at things they need to see.
The link I'm providing should take you directly to your media player. This was on a New Jersey AM talk show. I think you'll be very surprised to hear what they have to say about terror cells being trained in the US. It's import to watch all of it..and it's only about 20 minutes or so, but quite the education.

Both sides are beating around the bush on the war issue. If you watch a conversation between a Democrat and Republican neither side has an actual resolution. I have a question for you, are you Democratic or middle ground? I'm middle ground on it all, one side is not more correct than the other in my opinion.
* Your question is one sided as it is. I've seen news reports for both sides and have noted both of them saying the same thing over and over but not offering a solution. They bash the other sides ideas saying they are more dangerous than anything and throw them out the window. I do watch the news, maybe you should watch some of both to get both sides of the story. They are debating, just not very well or effectively.

They are delaying the inevitable to try and appear as if they are still loyal to George Bush. They've got quite the problem. Do they do what they know is right and call him on the inadequacy and foolishness of this escalation? Or do they stick with him and hope a miracle occurs and a plan of his actually works for a change? Either way they are courting the ire of the voters, who will surely return it to them come election day. Those who created the phrase cut and run are showing a bit of cowardice themselves these days.

Excuse me but might I ask where the hell you get your information from? Wouldn't be that sorry excuse for a Marine Murtha would it? I don't believe they are afraid, I believe its the Democrat's who seem to be cutting off debate in the Senate and House. But then the Republicans are not all trying to be Commander-In-Chief either like some Democrat's I could name. we got one, his name is GW Bush, he's got a little less than 2 years to go. Get use to it.

Because debating a NON-BINDING agreement is useless no matter whether you like the answer or not. If the Dems want to make it a binding vote...thats another story...but they wont...they are afraid to be held accountable for any real action...all they want is talk....thats their "plan"..do nothing that they can be held accountable for and just talk and access blame to others whom do make a stand.

Their "war strategy" consisted of "cake-walks", "mission accomplished", "final throes", "bring 'em on", "stay the course", etc.
Debating the war now would be an admission of their party and president's years of lies and failure in Iraq.

Because they really don't care about the desire of the American people, and need to get kicked out of office before they wise up.

"war strategy" is something that should be debated by politicians? they are the last people you want running a war. don't forget why those politicians are there, and who pay for their campaigns.
