They accused supporters of the resolution of endangering \u200bU.S. forces.<br>&#8220;This is not a forever war, indeed not even close to it. This is going to end very quickly,&#8221; Republican \u2060Senator Jim Risch of Idaho, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a speech against the resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"711\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/tingchao.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u4f01\u4e1a\u5fae\u4fe1\u622a\u56fe_20260305090921.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tingchao.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u4f01\u4e1a\u5fae\u4fe1\u622a\u56fe_20260305090921.png 711w, https:\/\/tingchao.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u4f01\u4e1a\u5fae\u4fe1\u622a\u56fe_20260305090921-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The measure had not been expected to succeed.
