By a big, big margin. So what if that's not what the Iraqi people want, it's what the US Senate (which showed such great wisdom in helping get us in this mess in the first place) wants - and that's what matters, right? Russ Feingold of Wisconsin was the only Democrat voting against it (though thankfully Sen. Obama had the good sense to say he'd have voted against it if he'd been in the Senate that day).
UPDATE: I'm bumping this up because of this nice, concise take-down of this idiocy by Marc Lynch. If you are really interested in this be sure to click on the links at the bottom of the post to understand just how bad an idea this is in even more detail - and the jaw-dropping support it nonetheless has across the US political spectrum.
