Internal debate steers Democrats on new Iraq course
The surge has surged.
You snooze you lose.


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Senate leaders said Tuesday they will hold off debating a repeal of the 2002 Iraq war authorization, possibly due to divisions that have emerged in the Democratic caucus over how to proceed on addressing the war in Iraq.

Instead of debating the war this week, the chamber will complete a homeland security bill that implements the recommendations of the 9/11 commission.

That means the Senate will not debate the Iraq war for at least two weeks.

2. I don't know - perhaps they decided that it would be better to get something passed
rather than waste time on non-binding resolutions they can't get passed anyway?
