Comment by Senator Lindsey Graham, (R-South Carolina) - Sep 20, 2007 "The Webb amendment intended to take care of the troops. I don't question anyone's intent, but if you really want to take care of the troops let them win. "The amendment was one of the more ill-advised approaches to fighting the War on Terror. It was a historic constitutional infringement on the power of the Commander in Chief allowing Congress to micromanage troop rotations and deployments. "The last thing in the world we should do to our troops -- particularly in the name of helping them -- is to put 535 Members of Congress in charge of troop rotations as we fight the War on Terror. With an approval rating below 20 percent, Congress has not risen to the level of being visionary leaders. "I'm very pleased the Senate rejected this ill-advised amendment."
