Heck, is Syria more pro-American than some Democrats? "The U.N. Security Council Thursday unanimously adopted a U.S.-sponsored resolution that calls for the establishment of a U.S.-led multinational force and appeals to U.N. members to provide troops and money to help support the struggling U.S. occupation of Iraq," reports the Washington Post. Yes, even Syria voted for the resolution. "But France, Russia, Germany and Pakistan said after the vote that they would not make any new military or financial contributions to support the resolution." Weasels. Then again, can one really blame them for being reluctant to pony up when prominent American politicians are working to undermine the Iraq reconstruction effort?

Howard Dean also says if he were in Congress, he'd vote "no," unless he could get a tax increase in exchange for an affirmative vote. Dick Gephardt and Joe Lieberman intend to vote "yes." Wesley Clark courageously takes no position. Stop the Presses "Clark's Campaign Releases Glowing Accounts of His Military Career"--headline, New York Times, Oct. 16
