No House resolution honoring SEAL's bin Laden mission
http://thehill.com/homenews/house/159375-house-wont-honor-seal-mission-with-a-resolution

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.

10. I'm really surprised they are sticking to their silly little rule here.
A resolution like this is a political no-brainer.

11. I just love watching the republican party shooting itself in the foot--this ain't going to
go over very well with their constituents.

12. 'Course not. They have important things to deal with, like outlawing birth control.
that's what the last election was about, see.
