No House resolution honoring SEAL's bin Laden mission

House Republicans say they have no plans to follow the Senate in passing a resolution honoring the military mission that killed Osama bin Laden.

The decision by GOP leaders follows new rules they enacted in January scrapping the tradition of congratulatory measures, which they complained clogged up the House floor.

The Senate on Tuesday passed a resolution, 97-0, commending “the men and women of the United States Armed Forces and the United States intelligence community for the tremendous commitment, perseverance, professionalism and sacrifice they displayed in bringing Osama bin Laden to justice.” The measure commended President Obama and reaffirmed the Senate’s commitment “to disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda.” It also recognized former President George W. Bush’s efforts after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The lack of House action drew criticism from some Democrats, who said an exception to the new rules was more than warranted for the killing of America’s No. 1 enemy.

“I don’t know why we’re not. Certainly we’ve passed a lot of resolutions for a lot less important things,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), whose district includes Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. “I think we ought to pass a resolution honoring the military and the president. How often do you get unadulterated, unabashed, absolute good news about something really important in this country, or any country?”

Would you expect anything different from the people who can't play well with others? I know 10 year olds that have more gravitas than this collective of WATB's.

11. if it had been a Repuke President who got bin Laden

I'm sure House Repukes couldn't act fast enough passing a resolution honoring our troops and the president.

I'm glad the Senate passed a resolution, but it would have been much better if they'd left out Dumbya's so-called "efforts".

12. They'd have broken arms from patting themselves on the back!

Agree.

14. If this had happened under a Republican adminstration, they'd have

made it a permanent annual federal effin' holiday.

[stevedeshazer]

15. That really goes straight to the point.

If a Republican president did this, guys would dress up in green spandex and celebrate.
