Congress standing up for the will of the people

House, Senate agree on binding Iraq withdrawal.

“House and Senate negotiators reached agreement today on final war-funding legislation that would begin bringing U.S. troops home from Iraq as early as this July, setting a goal of ending U.S. combat operations no later than March of next year. The deal, which will come to final votes in the House and Senate Wednesday and Thursday, sets up a veto clash with President Bush by week’s end.” More details on the agreement HERE.

UPDATE: A statement from Reid and Pelosi is HERE.

UPDATE II: Thoughts from McJoan.
