The Senate stayed up all night, resulting in 52 votes for a new direction in Iraq. Senator Joe Biden called for finding a political solution "...So when we leave Iraq, we don't have to send our grandchildren back."
Four Republicans stood with the Democrats -- Senators Gordon Smith of Oregon, Olympia Snowe of Maine, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Susan Collins of Maine.
In his Washington Post column, OpEd writer Harold Meyerson began like this, "Anyone searching for the highest forms of invertebrate life need look no further than the floor of the U.S. Senate this week. These spineless specimans go by various names -- Republican moderates; respected Republicans; Dick Lugar, John Warner, Peter Domenici, George Voinovich."
Read for yourself: The column is called "Spineless Sages."
