Democrats Plan On Symbolic Vote On Iraq

So it's non binding and changes nothing, but the Democrats decide to use some of their "First 100 hours" to waste time on this? Sure, if it's binding or actually does something, then fine. But I thought they were in a rush to get stuff done during the first 100 hours?

Lawmakers said Senate Democrats appeared broadly united in opposition to Mr. Bush’s approach during their private luncheon on Tuesday. While there were a few senators who favored cutting off money for any troop increase, a handful of others expressed uncertainty about challenging the president on a potential war-powers issue.

“We have to be very careful about blocking funding for any troops because we don’t want to leave our troops short-changed,” said Senator Mary L. Landrieu, Democrat of Louisiana.

So Democrats are still thinking about blocking funding for our troops. It's not like they are coming out and saying "There's no way in hell we'll block funding". They are saying "we should be careful about it". If that doesn't speak volumes about them, I'd like to see a better example.
