Again Grandpa, its not about whether the war should have been fought that has been argued in other threads. It is about the success of the surge. The common Leftist counter-argument is to state we should have never been there, because they can't provide proof that surge is not working. They rather ignore it and stick to their story.

Anyway, here's a related story:
Senate advances anti-war bill
Senate Republicans on Tuesday helped advance a Democratic-pushed bill to cut off money for the war in Iraq, saying the additional debating time would allow them to hail progress there.

Still not about the surges success or failure. Rather the every approval rate dropping Congress's illegitimate bill that won't go anywhere
Quote:

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said the discussion will allow the GOP to cite the "extraordinary progress that's been made in Iraq over the last six months, not only on the military side, but also with civilian reconciliation beginning to finally take hold in the country."

Again it doesn't have to do with the success or failure of the surge.
