SACRAMENTO -- California voters could get a chance to register their opinions about the Iraq war under a bill that passed the state Senate Wednesday after a sharply partisan debate about whether the initiative could demoralize troops in the field.The Vote Us Out of Iraq measure would be an advisory question on the Feb. 5 presidential primary ballot and ask voters if they support an immediate withdrawal of troops.
It was sent to the Assembly on a 23-11 party-line vote and must win approval from that house and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to get on the ballot.
"Once again, we are a nation at war. And once again, the people want peace," the bill's author, Sen. President Pro Tem Don Perata, D-Oakland, told senators before the vote.

Not only are we not leaving Iraq, but we will soon be at War with Iran when Fuhrer Bush attacks them.
They think that they can win with Air Power, however the one consideration they have not taken in is what will Russia and China do.
They will not let the Decider take control of the oil fields of the Middle East. Iraq and Iran are as important to them as they are too us.
World War III is coming, prepare yourself.
God Bless.
PS: What are the names and groups from your song playlist? I know one of them, however who are the rest of bands and song titles?
Thanks Anon Paranoid.
Again, I couldn't agree with you more.
As for the playlist: Nickelback, Pink Floyd, John Lennon and I think that's it :)
