Reply #38: If we believe that

[H2O Man]

the "new" congress is invested in advocating the wishes of the majority of Americans -- who want this war to end -- then the (in)action taken by the "leadership" makes no sense. If we look at the recent (in)action in the House and Senate in the context of their overall performance since 2001, it would seem to be yet another example of their willingness to betray the citizens of this country, and do little more than participate in a charade that keeps the grass roots thinking that at some point, these "leaders" will show some spine.
