The number of Republican House members who will back the nonbinding resolution opposing escalation in Iraq, according to Rep. Wayne Gilchrest (R-MD), “which would be the strongest repudiation of Bush’s Iraq policy from Republicans since the war began nearly four years ago.”
UPDATE: The text of the resolution is now public:
(1) Congress and the American people will continue to support and protect the members of the United States Armed Forces who are serving or who have served bravely and honorably in Iraq, and;
(2) Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush announced on January 19, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq.
