House votes to withdraw US troops from Iraq by April of next year

The cut and runners issue yet another symbolic cut and run vote.

Also, read about ABC’s Jake Tapper and his experience trying to get Senator Reid to answer his “what about the Iraqis?” question. Reid takes dodging and weaving to new levels.

I am not sure if this can get through the Senate and if it does Bush will veto it.

From what I have read the bill is very vague. It calls for beginning the drawdown in the next 120 days and finishing by April. However, it also calls for leaving an undetermined number of troops in Iraq to train Iraqis, fight AlQaida and other terrorists and to protect American interests. What the exact number of people left there remains a msytery.

How absurd.

The looney left has doomed this war from the very start. All of their assinine comments and hatered of Bush have the terrorists emboldened and osama lauging in his cave while watching all this s*#t on his hdtv.
I hope they are happy. I want em home also but it must be done right, all they care about is their stinking votes in 08.

No, it won’t get through and if it did, it would be vetoed. That’s why nobody has bothered with details on it. Why spend your time arguing over this and that when you know for a fact it will be canned?

This however, is just another example of this idiotic Congress using their legistalive duties as a political battering ram. The hope here is for political ammo in the upcoming elections where the other guy “voted time after time to keep troops in harms way.”

ST, this is exactly what I meant when I said that I fear we are going to leave Iraq prematurely after all, and that if we do, the war will follow us home.

So there’s Osama in his cave fixin’ to laugh at the actions of the so-called loony left. A truck drives up, cable guy gets out, and installs HDTV for him.

I mean, it’s gotta be cable, right? Somebody might notice a satellite dish, wouldn’t you suppose?
