OK, but let's tell the whole story just for the sake of keeping it straight.
The Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi (sp?) told everyone to vote against that particular resolution for parliamentary reasons. The vote probably doesn't reflect the spirit of either party at this point.
Besides, the resolution and vote aren't really what this thread is about -- although I understand why it bends that way.
The thread is about a woman who shot off her mouth, naming by name a veteran of 37 years in the Marine Corp and Marine Reserves, (he was an active duty Marine at the beginning of his military career, went into the Reserves and then went back into the active Corp. during Vietnam if I read his biography correctly) who was decorated in Vietnam and rose to a senior command rank.
Maybe somebody set her up, as I think Representative Murtha seems to be suggesting in his comment to Tim Russert. In any event, before you attack someone by name on the floor of the House of Representatives, you should perhaps know something about that person and his background and record.
