UPDATE: It Passed….Democrats Will Vote On A Bill They Know Will Be Vetoed
Update: It passed..see Michelle Malkin’s roundup of the vote
————————-
Wouldn’t all of you like the luxury wasting your employers time and money? That is what the actions of this Congress amount to. A waste of time and money. Another bill is about to be voted on, and it may as well have been vetoed before the vote:
The bill would require that the U.S. initiate troop withdrawals within 30 days of its passage and agree to the goal of bringing home most soldiers and Marines by Dec. 15, 2008.
It is largely a symbolic jab at President Bush, who already has begun withdrawing some troops but rejects the notion that Congress set a timetable on the war.
Democratic leaders initially said Wednesday they expected the bill to pass. But by mid-afternoon, the prospects were less clear. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., convened a meeting of the bill’s supporters and asked them to help her round up votes.
A Pelosi spokesman said a vote still would take place Wednesday.
The White House said Bush would reject the bill.

Bush looks like an ass and an idiot when he vetos these Iraq withdrawl bills.
Makes the congressional Dems look better in the eyes of the American majority who want this shameful war to end.

6, pam, that still makes SFL a surrender monkey. I don’t know if he prefers to eat French cheese since the French have moved to the right.
