WASHINGTON -- After a mid-term election power shift driven in part by voter dissatisfaction with the war, Democrats led the U.S. House to issue a rare wartime rebuke to the president on Friday.
Lawmakers voted in favor of a nonbinding resolution, 246-182, that voices support for U.S. troops fighting the war but criticizes the plan to increase the size of the U.S. force in Iraq by more than 21,000 troops.
