US Senate defeats Iraq timetable bid
2005-11-16
The Republican-controlled Senate has defeated a Democratic effort to pressure President George W Bush to outline a timetable for a phased withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. It then overwhelmingly endorsed a weaker statement of US policy in Iraq. By 58-40, senators on Tuesday rejected a Democratic plan that the minority party's leadership advanced in the wake of declining public support for a conflict that has claimed more than 2000 US lives and cost more than $200 billion.

The non-binding measure called for Bush to outline a plan for gradually withdrawing US troops from Iraq. Republicans countered with their own non-binding alternative. It urged that 2006 "should be a period of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty", with Iraqi forces taking the lead in providing security, a step Republicans said would create the conditions for the phased redeployment of US forces.

#5  As I told FDR over and over: Time tables are paramount. Bring the troops home by Jan. 1, 1945. But did he listen to me? Noooo.

#3  and yes, Im unhappy with Harry Reid and the dem proposal. It was not a good plan. They should have proposed something closer to what the GOP proposed.

#2  I think they rather deftly beat Harry Reid.

But if you want to swear never to vote for any of them again, feel free.

While GWB is out of the country no less...incredible work here. We have no leader ship. I have been waiting for these days for 30 years. These people have fucked everyone of us. The men and women in the US Military have got to be thinking why the hell bother. Instead of making a great stand and shoving it down there throats. They played right into the hands of the Dim-O-Rats..
