Bush’s bow yesterday, passing a toughly worded but non-binding resolution that opposes sending thousands more U.S. soldiers into Baghdad’s violent cauldron.It was the first anti-war vote since Sept. 11, 2001, a rare rebuke of a sitting president’s foreign policy and one that could set the stage for a showdown over Iraq between Democrats in Congress and the beleaguered President.“Congress disapproves of the decision of President George W. Bush, announced on January 10, 2007, to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States combat troops to Iraq,” the resolution said.
