The appeasers on the left continue each and every day solidify their legendary and historic stance as the most enemy complicit US Congress to ever be seated in Washington DC in over 230 years. First it was Burkha Nancy's Terrorist suckup Tour of Syria and the Middle East, then Homo Harry Reid's all out surrender to the enemy and now this. What a bunch America sent to Washington din the middle of a war.
Senate Votes to Require Iraq Withdrawals
My Way News : "WASHINGTON (AP) - A defiant Democratic-controlled Senate passed legislation Thursday that would require the start of troop withdrawals from Iraq by Oct. 1, propelling Congress toward a historic veto showdown with President Bush on the war.
The 51-46 vote was largely along party lines, and like House passage of the same bill a day earlier, fell far short of the two-thirds margin needed to overturn the president's threatened veto. Nevertheless, the legislation is the first binding challenge on the war that Democrats have managed to send to Bush since they reclaimed control of both houses of Congress in January.
'The president has failed in his mission to bring peace and stability to the people of Iraq,' said Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.V., chairman of the Appropriations Committee. He later added: 'It's time to bring our troops home from Iraq.'"Across the Potomac River at the Pentagon, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, told reporters the war effort likely will "get harder before it gets easier."
Republicans said the vote amounted to little more than political theater because the bill would be dead on arrival after reaching the White House. Bush said he will veto the bill so long as it contains a timetable on Iraq, as well as $20 billion in spending added by Democrats.
"The solution is simple: Take out the surrender date, take out the pork, and get the funds to our troops," said Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. read more
