The US House of Representatives delivered a stinging rebuke to President George W. Bush over his new strategy on Iraq, in a rare wartime blow to the country's commander-in-chief.
The terse text of the non-binding resolution was adopted by the Democrat-controlled House, also winning the support of 17 of the 201 Republican members.
A total of 246 of the current 434 House members voted for the motion, which says "Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 10, 2007" to send an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq.
It adds that "Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States armed forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq."
And now that this first step is out of the way it is time for Congress to get serious and take George Bush's toys away permanently. He is much too immature to use them properly.
