Just what was this resolution supposed to accomplish? Was this a meaningful, worthwhile effort on the part of our elected officials? Or, was it yet another example of self serving “politics as usual”? Let’s examine the results:
Did it stop the war in Iraq? NO!
Did it show support for our troops in harms way? NO!
Did it demonstrate America’s lack of resolve? YES!
Did it make America safer? NO!
Did it help our allies? NO!
Did it bolster terrorists all over the world? YES!
Did it support the President in time of war? NO!
Well, I can’t see a single result of this resolution that was good for America. Nor can I see any logical reason why a reasonably intelligent human being should have expected anything positive from this folly.
Unless they are simply “stupid”, members of congress who voted for this resolution (from both parties) absolutely knew that such a useless resolution could ONLY be harmful to the nation. So why did they do it?
Sure they got to embarrass the President, but are they really that petty and immature? Did they not care that they also embarrassed every other thinking American? Or was it just that they felt that this would be a vote getter for them in the future? Would they really be willing to put their own interests in front of our nation’s? Could they be so low?
The last one was a rhetorical question. If the results outlined above are true (how can they be disputed?), and if we presume that so many members of congress are not quite stupid enough to think that a different result could come from their actions, then yes, members of congress could be so low.
