House Debating Anti-Surge Resolution

I blogged about this yesterday, and now the debate has begun.  The House resolution is non-binding and is expected to pass easily.  The NYT has more:

The nonbinding resolution, two simple clauses that also express support for the troops, is expected to pass with overwhelming Democratic support but also with a bloc of votes from Republicans increasingly disenchanted with the administration’s Iraq policy.

“I’m just not convinced that deploying 20,000 additional troops is going to resolve anything favorable for us,” said Representative Howard Coble, Republican of North Carolina, who estimated that 20 to 25 Republicans would vote for the resolution, although other estimates ran higher.
