Senate gridlock on Iraq war resolution
The Senate failed to advance a nonbinding measure opposing Bush deployment of 21 500 additional troops by a 56 34 vote well short of the 60 needed. Democrats claimed victory while Republicans accused opposition leaders of blocking debate and funding. Hillary Clinton urged ending the war and warned bipartisan support is essential. Nine Republicans skipped the session and John McCain denounced the symbolic vote as meaningless. The measure condemned the deployment and pledged support for troops in the field.
