yah, waste of time. Guess it's the foreigner in me.

Yea, all the more reason not to do it.

I'll leave that to historians of the future who rely on resolutions printed in the Congressional Record to get a sense of what happened in the past.

Speaks to most of the BS that comes out of that dysfunctional group of whores.

Then you might be interested to know that instead of passing a Resolution recognizing the success of this mission, House Republicans (and 16 anti-choice Democrats) passed H.R. 3, which attempts to redefine rape as it pertains to abortion and effectively raises taxes on women and small businesses by "prevent[ing] women from using “itemized medical deductions, certain tax-advantaged health care accounts or tax credits included in last year’s health care law to pay for abortions or for health insurance plans that cover abortion.” In doing so, the bill forces women and small businesses that provide health insurance that covers abortion to pay more in taxes than they would otherwise. Both economic conservative Grover Norquist and the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce noted that the bill is basically a tax increase."

Yay for "real work". Yep, only 10 minutes. That gargantuan nightmare called Medicare Part D was only open to voting for 15 minutes. Well, except that when the Republicans saw that they didn't have the votes and the bill had failed, they held the vote open for 3 hours (at 3AM, no less) while they threatened their members and posted guards at the doors so they couldn't leave the floor.

But they don't have 10 minutes to recognize the brave men who risked their lives to rid us of the Most Wanted terrorist leader on the planet.

Oh yea, they will get a LOT out of those details now won't they! Not. It is so frigging vague it is laughable. A feel good resolution to make them look like they are doing something important.

You Americans sure like your official seals, titles and paperwork. I forgot that. For a moment. I will not ever forget what happened there, I will never look to a congressional record to remind me. I seriously doubt that without such a resolution to record the incident, it will be lost in history, but maybe it will be seen as more important to my grandchildren if that record exists?

Well I am sure ST6 would be really interested to know that! Well done!

Can you be more petty?

Its not a matter of details but the highest legislative body in the country saying for the Record, "job well done" to all involved.

Can you be more stupid?

No time in the background?

But that is not the only way history is written (thank FSM)

They don't give a shit.

It is the only official record of Congress.

...at least not in most of the world/eras.... although it does lend weight to history being written by the victors
