Senate Vote on Iraq Timeline Tuesday?
Monday July 16, 2007
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is filing a cloture motion on the Reed-Levin troop redeployment bill (S.AMDT.2087) and is reportedly prepared to keep the Senate in session all night Tuesday to force debate.
The amendment would force the Bush Administration to "commence the reduction of the number of United States forces in Iraq not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this act."
