The House on Friday handily rejected a timetable for pulling U.S. forces out of Iraq, culminating a fiercely partisan debate between Republicans and Democrats feeling the public’s apprehension about war and the onrushing midterm campaign season.

In a 256-153 vote, the GOP-led House approved a nonbinding resolution that praises U.S. troops, labels the Iraq war part of the larger global fight against terrorism and says an “arbitrary date for the withdrawal or redeployment” of troops is not in the national interest.

Here’s the roll call vote. Three Republicans voted along with the Democrats: Reps. Paul, Duncan, and Leach.

  3. Prevailing Prevails

    As in the Senate, now too in the House. The resolution to keep on fighting the good fight in the War on Terror passed 256-153.

  1. I can’t stand Jim Leach. He is just another RINO. I was so happy with the Iowa redistricting when Leach was sent down the river, and Nussle took over the representation of Davenport. I noticed also that Nussle didn’t vote but he is running for governor of Iowa. And Evans, D-IL, Is in the middle of court cases concerning who is going to be his guardian.

    I am extremely happy this was beaten down. It is so amazing that so many Dems voted against this lunacy. They know their party leaders are idiots. Now if they could just figure out how to get rid of that leadership. - Lorica
