House Again Opposes Troop Pullout From Iraq


In a legislative move similar to one used last month, the GOP passes a bill saying an 'artificial timetable' would not help achieve victory.

By Richard Simon, Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON — House Republicans, repeating a legislative tactic they used in November, sought to put Democrats on the spot Friday with a proposal opposing timetables for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Although the debate was more civil than the one last month, when lawmakers bitterly squabbled over and soundly defeated a resolution calling for an immediate pullout, Friday's measure drew more Democratic opposition.

The proposal, declaring that setting an "artificial timetable" for withdrawing the U.S. military from Iraq would be "inconsistent with achieving victory," was approved 279 to 109.

Voting no were 108 Democrats and one independent. Supporting the resolution were 220 Republicans and 59 Democrats. Two Republicans and 32 Democrats voted "present."
