U.S. Senate rejects bill with Iraq withdrawal timeline
By Jeff Zeleny and Carl Hulse
Wednesday, May 16, 2007
WASHINGTON: Democrats who are highly critical of President George W.
Bush's Iraq war strategy suffered a stinging defeat on Wednesday when
the Senate overwhelmingly rejected a measure to cut off money for the
military campaign by March 31, 2008.
The measure, in the form of an amendment to an unrelated
water-projects bill, was effectively rejected, 67 to 29, with 19
Democrats voting against it in a procedural vote. Sixty yes votes were
required for the measure to advance, meaning that it fell short by 31
votes.
