.........The House was to continue debating the measure Thursday, with a vote Friday, when it was expected to pass.

The resolution picked up steam Wednesday after more than a half a dozen House Republicans said they would vote for it.

Rep. Ric Keller (news, bio, voting record), R-Fla., said he approached his decision "with a great deal of angst and humility," but ultimately could not stand behind the president's plan.

"I have listened to what our most well-respected four-star generals have to say about this matter," he said. And many "said that sending more troops into Baghdad is not the answer."

Rep. Jim Marshall (news, bio, voting record), D-Ga., announced he would oppose the Democratic resolution. While Marshall is concerned that Bush's Iraq strategy won't work, the Vietnam War veteran said he was gravely concerned about the impact it would have on troop morale.

4. I am just seething with frustration here

Please explain to me whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy none of this debate is be broadcast on any "news" program, barely any mention and no video that I have seen of the debate. I don't care about Anna Nicole, and I really don't want to watch the insane ramblings and drum beat of war of the pResident.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but that doesn't help the frustration.

5. That's a very low tally...

From what I've seen on the live debate feed, it's at least twice that amount and growing.
