WASHINGTON (AP) _ Kansas lawmakers split along party lines as the House approved a Democratic resolution opposing President Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq.

The 246 to 182 vote on the non-binding measure came after four days of debate over a war that has killed more than 3,100 U.S. troops.

The state's two Democratic House members Dennis Moore and
Nancy Boyda voted for the measure. Republicans Todd Tiahrt and
Jerry Moran opposed it.

Tiahrt argues the resolution would embolden the enemy and hurt troop morale.

Moore says the U.S. has done all it can militarily, and now it's up to the Iraqi government to step up to the plate and assume responsibility.

Senator Sam Brownback said, "I am disappointed that Democratic leadership continues to deny the Senate the opportunity to have a full discussion of ideas on the very critical issue of war in Iraq."

"It is important that the Senate has a full debate in which senators can offer amendments and vote on several different proposals."
