House Passes War Supplemental With Timetable
The House just passed the FY07 supplemental funding bill that's mostly for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The bill contains conditions and a timetable for withdrawing most troops from Iraq.
The House of Representatives today passed a $124 billion emergency spending bill that sets binding benchmarks for progress in Iraq, establishes tough readiness standards for deploying U.S. troops abroad and requires the withdrawal of American combat forces from Iraq by the end of August 2008.
The bill promptly drew a veto threat from President Bush.
