Unconscionable - 51 Senators voted

Unconscionable - 51 Senators voted to convert aid to Iraq into a loan.

Dumb.

The vote - almost a straight party line, with a few GOP "moderates" like stealth Democrat Olympia Snowe - is a bald-faced attempt to hamstring the President's policy toward Iraq, and make it that much harder to "win the peace" that so much of the opposition claims to be so concerned about.

Norm Coleman voted against this provision, while Mark Dayton voted for it.
