We The People...Resolve To Stay Resolved

Lest anyone get the false impression that Murica does not keep its commitments, the House yesterday sent a message destined to spread across the world like a really greasy beer fart that we aren't leaving until the job is done.

The measure, approved 291-137, says the United States should leave Iraq only when national security and foreign policy goals related to a free and stable Iraq have been achieved.

"Calls for an early withdrawal embolden the terrorists and undermine the morale" of U.S. and allied forces and put their security at risk, the amendment to a State Department bill reads.

And in a less heralded part of the resolution was this big middle finger to Muslims the world over:

The GOP-controlled House also voted 304-124 to accept another contentious amendment stating that the detention and lawful interrogation of detainees at Guantanamo is essential to the war on terrorism. Some critics of reported prisoner abuse and lack of legal recourse for detainees have called for Guantanamo to be closed.

Boy am I glad that is cleared up; now we can get back to more important issues.
