House Praises Bush on 9/11

With some Democrats backing it, says the Washington Times:

The House of Representatives, despite objections by Democrats, yesterday approved a resolution recognizing those killed in the September 11 terrorist attacks and praising the USA Patriot Act and other Republican-crafted security measures implemented since..."To me, and I think to most Americans, after five years of security and success, a lapse in our resolve is unthinkable," said House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert. "Victory is not yet assured, and victory without resolve is impossible." The Illinois Republican said the resolution sends a signal to America's enemies: "We will never forget, and we will never surrender."

...Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California urged her Democratic colleagues to vote for the measure in spite of the objections.


Good to hear something positive coming from Congress these days.
