Did Pubs apologize for 403-3 stunt?

[SHRED]

I heard somewhere that they apologized and admitted that the Hunter Resolution was a "stunt".

Was I dreaming?
Got a link?

You are probably right...they never admit to any wrong doing...never.

6. Just keep repeating

They voted for it before the voted against it.

4. I saw a couple of articles which reported that some individual republican

House members privately apologized to some democrats. Perhaps that is what you heard about. There was no broad public apology as far as I know.

The resolution that Murtha introduced had stated:

Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of American in Congress assembled, That:

Section 1. The deployment of United States Forces in Iraq, by direction of Congress, is hereby terminated and forces involved are to be redeployed at the earliest practicable date.

Section 2. A quick-reaction U.S. force and an over-the-horizon presence of U.S. Marines shall be deployed in the region.

Section 3. The United States of America shall pursue security and stability in Iraq through diplomacy.

The "revised" Republican version of the resolution read simply:

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately.

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately.

The House Republicans turned Murtha's thoughtful, rational resolution into a useless bit of partisanship, as they knew full well that the Democrats were not going to vote for something so absurdly worded. And they didn't - the resolution was voted down 403-3.
