Yeah, Rangel started talking about this back when Bush was making noise
about going into Iraq. It's been a year since it was introduced. The
idea was that maybe it would shock the Republicans into thinking more
about the consequences of their policies if their children were at risk.
Or something like that, anyway. 
 
Given that it's been over a year since any major action was taken on it,
it seems unlikely to go anywhere now.
