Senate Floor vote on redeploying in Iraq now.
The typical repuke arguments. Harry Reid was pretty good on this issue. Calling roll now.

1. oh, those repigs keep on spewing the same ole talking points
Lieberman was disgusting. They are just piling up the bodies higher and higher, and why are the attacks down??? Maybe because they are ethically cleansing the area.

3. Mostly because the Sunni's agreed to a cease fire. But reducing attacks wasn't
exactly the purpose of the surge. It was to stabalize Baghdad to give the Iraqi politicians move to come to political decisions on 18 points that needed to be decided. Only a few are finished. In other words, there has been no progress, therefore the surge is a failure as far as that goes.

job of stating their case, unfortunately it fell on deaf ears, the only question is how many Dem's will vote with the Reptilians to kill it.

5. He did a great job, praising the troops, but saying it is failing because there
is no political progress. He sounded disgusted with McConnell.

9. Sounds like a cloture vote, not a vote on the measure itself.

17. I would gladly give everything I own to see Durbin or somebody walk over to McConnell
