Oceania Has Always Been At War

The House, in a beautiful display of sausage making, rejected a Republican resolution calling for the immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq (savor that phrase for a moment), 403-3.

In a contentious debate, marred by Rep Schmitt's attack on Murtha, the House clawed itself into shreds, expended countless calories in pointless exposition, and then did the inevitable. Makes one wish for the quiet diplomacy of the Taiwanese legislature.
