Rudy Giuliani, on Larry King this week, had a message for the supporters of the non-binding resolution that was just passed by the House.

GIULIANI: I mean, you can look at the practical and common sense conclusion on that anyway you want. But there’s something more important than that. We have a right of free speech in this country and we elect people to make decisions. Here’s what I would prefer to see them do, though, if you ask me what’s my view on that. The nonbinding resolution thing gets me more than are you for it or against it. I have tremendous respect for the people who feel that we either made a mistake going to war, who voted against the war, who now have come to the conclusion, changed their minds, they have every right to that, that it’s wrong, you should, in a dynamic situation, keep questioning. What I don’t like is the idea of a nonbinding resolution.

KING: Because?

GIULIANI: Because there’s no decision.

KING: But it’s a statement.

GIULIANI: Yes, but that’s what you do. That’s what Tim Russert does and that’s what Rush Limbaugh does. That’s what you guys do, you make comments. We pay them to make decisions, not just to make comments. We pay them to decide.

Seriously, what the hell is the good of wasting all this time on a non-binding resolution? Democrats (and a handful of spineless Republicans) are making the U.S. Congress look more like the United Nations everyday. Have the courage to vote on a measure that would truly end the war if you’re opposed to it.

  2. Most of them probably don’t want to look any worse by voting against something that they voted for in the first place. Like, um lets see… Hillary, Kerry, Kennedy, need I go on? What hippocrites!

  3. The media coverage makes it seem as though this non-binding resolution is the second biggest story of the century (right behind the death of our beloved national hero Anna Nichole Smith), when in reality it is nothing more than a waste of time and posturing.
