Re: House Iraq Debate-Why I Did Not Vote For The Resolution

Twenty-five hundred American men and women have died since this war started three years ago. Dozens of those are from Tennessee. Now we find out that, according to news reports, Iraqis might make the murder of U.S. troops an excusable offense and grant amnesty to those who killed our men and women. I find that repulsive and could not support the House resolution, which praises the same Iraqi government that is reportedly considering such a negotiation.
