Vermont lawmakers call for U.S troop withdrawal in Iraq
 Vermont lawmakers called on Congress and the president Tuesday to immediately withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq, becoming the first state legislature to do so.The vote came as the U.S. House of Representatives began debating a resolution opposing President Bush's planned surge of troops into Iraq and Democratic leaders in the U.S. Senate prepared to do the same. But the Vermont House and Senate went further, telling Congress and President Bush it was time "to commence immediately the orderly withdrawal of American military forces from Iraq."
