They Voted For You: Iraq

U.S. Reps. Alan Mollohan, D-1st, and Nick Rahall, D-3rd, helped their party pass the "Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act" Thursday.

Its goals include "To require the Secretary of Defense to commence the reduction of the number of United States Armed Forces in Iraq to a limited presence by April 1, 2008."

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, voted against the measure, which prevailed 223-201 almost entirely along party lines.

The Associated Press has an audio report, as well as this article providing context to the vote and the day's other Iraq-related political developments.
