Shocker: Democrats issue resolution supporting troops

I'll admit it caught me by surprise. That is, yesterday's resolution -- spearheaded by Democrats Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- urging the troops on to victory and praising their sacrifices. Gathering on the steps of the Capitol Building, the Democrats praised the troops en masse:


Their resolution read, in part, "...we strongly praise the actions of American troops to spread freedom and Democracy. And we pray for victory for our troops, knowing the sacrifices they have made and the high stakes for America..."

Ooops. Hold on. Uhm, sorry. I got part of this story wrong. The Democrats have, instead, pushed for a resolution condemning the President and the troop-surge; and advocating surrender and retreat from the Middle East.

My mistake.
