The Senate on Wednesday voted 67-29 to defeat a resolution calling for an end to funding for the war in Iraq. Despite the lopsided margin, media analysis on what the vote means, on "who won," is curiously split. To some, it was a victory for Democrats almost a watershed moment for the anti-war forces, an indication that support for the Iraq mission is weakening. USA Today, for example, says the vote "masked growing impatience within both political parties over President Bush's handling of the four-year conflict." The Financial Times calls the vote "a reflection of the growing opposition to the war on Capitol Hill," and ABC World News said that "each time the Senate votes, the sentiment for a quick withdrawal seems to get stronger." What was "considered radical just a few months ago on Capitol Hill is now mainstream Democratic thought. Today, a majority of Senate Democrats voted to withdraw all US combat troops from Iraq within four months, with all troops gone by next March." Along similar lines, The Hill reports "the Senate yesterday edged closer to a bipartisan rebuke of...Bush's war policy," with "a majority of Democrats" supporting "a hard timeline for ending the war."
