House Passes A Non-Binding Resolution Against Bush's Escalation
17 Republicans voted in favor of the resolution disapproving of Bush's decision to send over 20,000 more US troops to Iraq. The total vote count is 246-182.
It's nice to see some Republicans came back from the dark side. Although it is non-binding it's good to see that the will of the American people is being noted none the less.

Jamison here is a question you might know the answer to. 17 Republicans crossed the ailse on this vote. How many would have had to cross the aisle last October to get the same results?

None would have crossed, because the Republican party was in the majority. But then again, the Republican party forbid debate or discussion of the Iraq war on the House floor, so there would have been no chance to know either way.

Sorry, you misunderstood that was just a math question :)
