There'll Be No Leaving Afghanistan

Aside from Patrick Kennedy's angry lament that the media was not present during the heated debate on Dennis Kucinich's move to end the war in Afghanistgan by the end of the year, it turns out that there are 65 representatives who voted with Kucinich. I'm actually quite surprised that there were that many.

The vote was 65-356, with vast majorities from both parties opposing the resolution to end the war. Rep. Kucinich and his 19 co-sponsors delivered impassioned pleas to end the conflict, but they appear to have ultimately fallen on deaf ears.

In fact, much of the debate from the “no” side came in the form of questioning whether the debate should have happened at all, including speculation that Rep. Kucinich and others had “forgotten about 9/11″ and that they were deliberately trying to undermine America in seeking to end the eight and a half year war.

Sickening, but not surprising.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
