Ahhh, so he did, I appologize for my misreading of that

However, keep in mind that between 9.12.01 and 10.21.02 over 300 house joint resolutions were drafted and only 5 make it to vote, nahs range anywhere from " absolutely not under any condition " to " I don't like the wording " to " that's not my draft "

So to say that 126 voted against action in Iraq is misleading, 126 voted Nay to different version of a HJR

But I do appologize for incorrect reply
