DEPP: 'I CAN'T STAY IN RIOT-RAVAGED FRANCE' Hollywood star JOHNNY DEPP is so shocked by the riots raging through France, he's considering abandoning his home in the country. The FINDING NEVERLAND heart-throb moved to Europe when life in Los Angeles became too violent. He has since divided time between the two continents - but he fears France will be scarred permanently by the current troubles. He says, "It's insane, that setting cars on fire is the new strike. "I went there (to France) to live because it seemed so simple. "Now it's anything but. I don't know how they'll recover from this." 18/11/2005 17:31

Gutless wonders. When push came to shove, only three of the, what, 210(?) Dems in Congress had the guts to vote how they felt. Six more showed real courage of convictions by voting present. They've been spouting off for weeks about how we need to get out, but they didn't have the guts to vote that way.

Pullout rejected 403-3 By Stephen Dinan THE WASHINGTON TIMES November 19, 2005 The House last night overwhelmingly voted down a resolution calling for immediate withdrawal from Iraq, as Republicans tried to draw a line in the sand after a week's worth of back-and-forth charges over the war. The resolution failed 403-3, with six voting present. Those voting for it were Democrats Cynthia A. McKinney of Georgia, Robert Wexler of Florida and Jose E. Serrano of New York. Republican leaders wanted to force Democrats to take a stand on whether they endorsed Pennsylvania Democrat Rep. John P. Murtha's Thursday proposal to begin a six-month withdrawal from Iraq. Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican and chairman of the Armed Services Committee, put a resolution on the floor for a vote urging "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately." "We're going to let every member answer that, and I hope the message that goes back to our troops in Iraq is that we do not support a precipitous pullout," Mr. Hunter said before the vote. Other Republicans were more direct: "We'll put it to a vote, see if Democrats really want immediate withdrawal," said Rep. Jack Kingston, the Georgia Republican who represents the home base of the Army's 3rd Infantry. "Their hate for George Bush is so great they don't seem to care about the ramifications of reckless statements."
