"At the end of the debate, we will vote on a straightforward proposition: Whether we support the president's plan or oppose it," Pelosi said in her prepared remarks. "That vote will signal whether the House has heard the message the American people have sent about this war. The current policies have not worked, will not work and must be changed.""

Wow.. I have to admit I'm shocked that a Dem stood her ground. That's not to necessarily say I agree or disagree with her proposal (I haven't read it yet)... However, instead of rolling over on the issue and playing nice-nice like the fucking Republicans expect, the Dems are finally putting their foot down and saying "enough is enough"... They're calling them on their bluffs and saying they're not gonna roll over anymore. At least on this issue.
Shocking!
