"Yes, war is terrible. But, we should not take this as a reason to blunt our swords in the name of humanity. Someone will come along with a sharp sword and hack off our arms." -- Karl von Clausewitz

Senate Rejects U.S. Troop Pullout in Iraq In a move Democrats criticized as gamesmanship, Senate Republicans brought up the withdrawal measure and quickly dispatched it _ for now _ on a 93-6 vote. Kerry called the vote "fictitious" and promised further debate next week on the issue. He and five other Democrats were in the minority on the vote _ Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Barbara Boxer of California, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Tom Harkin of Iowa and Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Rating: 5
