House Votes to Withdraw Troops by April

From Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's blog 'The Gavel':

House Passes Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act
July 12th, 2007 by Jesse Lee

The House has passed the Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act by a vote of 223-201. This marks the largest vote in favor of redeployment to date.

The legislation, sponsored by Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton, would begin the responsible redeployment of U.S. troops within 120 days and complete redeployment by April 1, 2008. The President would have to report to Congress why troops should remain in Iraq for limited purposes such as to fight terrorism or to train Iraqi forces.

The Washington State Congressional delegations votes split on party lines;

Looks like the crickets will continue to chirp over at "Dave Reichert's record of independence and bi-partisan leadership" webpage. (Thanks to Dan at On the Road to 2008 for spotting this gaping void)
