House votes to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq

House votes to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq
# 13 July 2007 08:53 (UTC +04:00)
The chamber’s 223-201 vote to begin a withdrawal within 120 days occurred hours after Bush released an interim progress report that said the Iraqi government has failed so far to meet several key political goals even as a military offensive has improved security.
The House legislation requires President Bush to report to Congress if he plans to keep any military personnel in Iraq after most troops are withdrawn. 10 Republican congressmen also approved the draft prepared by Ike Skelton, a Democrat from Missouri and chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
Bush administration stated that the President will put veto on this document despite the Senate approves the draft. /APA/
