Nonbinding sanction for symbolic progress

Only in the folly of Washington can a nonbinding resolution be passed off as meaningful progress.
After years of complaining that the president misled the country into war, poorly prosecuted the same war, and now is escalating some of the original mistakes, the Democrats primary response is a symbolic one.
Even more incredible, Republicans are filibustering to prevent the symbolic gesture from the force of the gavel.
This is what we've come to. Thousands of Americans dead and dying. A war that most admit has gone tragically wrong continues down the same wayward path, and both sides of the political process are wrangling over a meaningless sanction.
God bless America.
