Senate backs Iraq troop withdrawal by March
http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070327/BREAKINGNEWS/70327068

Defying a veto threat, the Democratic-controlled Senate narrowly signaled support today for the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by next March.

Republican attempts to scuttle the non-binding timeline failed on a vote of 50-48, largely along party lines. The roll call marked the Senate’s most forceful challenge to date of the administration’s handling of a war that has claimed the lives of more than 3,200 U.S. troops

1. Wow
I just got home and have seen no news. Sounds like a much better bill than what the House passed, eh?
