As far as I can tell the bill passed both houses and I fail to see the problem. It seems though some representatives weren't happy about just bombing the hell out of the place, and wanted ground troops used- and some kind idea of what Clinton was planning to do. It doesn't seem too strange that there wasn't a lot support for bomb until we get a good result kind of plan.
What I seem to gather over the years is that Dems don't mind bombing someplace but they don't generally don't like the idea of using ground troops:)
