"Republicans on Monday blocked Senate debate on a bipartisan resolution opposing President Bush’s troop buildup in Iraq, leaving in doubt whether the Senate would render a judgment on what lawmakers of both parties described as the paramount issue of the day."
Right. So "paramount" is the issue that they agreed to do nothing about a resolution that did nothing. Because that's what a non-binding resolution is anyway, a statement with absolutely no force or utility. So the Democrats didn't want to actually do anything, and the Republicans beat them by doing nothing about doing nothing.
