this resolution 63 is first to thank the troops for their service, and we all support them. The second part of the resolution is to oppose the surge. I quote a great military general, Colin Powell: ``I am not persuaded that another surge of troops into Baghdad for the purposes of suppressing the communitarian violence, this civil war, would work.'' He supports our position. He opposes the surge. That is Colin Powell.

And I hope to God we are not fighting, and I hope we do not give the President a new AUMF.
