Today the House rejected a bill that would require our troops to be withdrawn from Iraq within 9 months. The big question is not why did the largely anti-war Congress reject such a bill, but why are our elected Representatives wasting their time drafting such bills.
Don't their constituents have other pressing issues for them to deal with? I'm sure voters didn't elect their members to office so they could waste their time drafting bills that are guaranteed to get nowhere.
A much less dramatic bill, the timetable bill, was vetoed by the president. Why would anyone in their right mind think that a 9-month withdrawal bill would even make it to the president's desk?
Congress needs to compromise with each other and draft bills that are not a waste of time and paper.
