House Moves on Bill to Withdraw Troops

WASHINGTON - The House takes up legislation today that would require President Bush to submit a plan for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq. The bill would require the administration to report to Congress on the status of redeployment plans in 60 days. Follow up reports would be required every 90 days thereafter.

Initially, Democratic leaders considered the bill too mild and instead focused on tougher measures that ordered troops home this fall. But those measures didn't pick up enough Republican support.

This is all well and good, and its encouraging to see that the House of Representatives is doing what we the people told them to do in the 2006 elections. However until the Republican-led Senate gets a set of cojones and puts Joe Lieberman (the Senator from Israel) and a few other of the sell outs in their place, this will do no good whatsoever.

At least the Democrats in the House have some testicles.

Wake up, sheeple.
