They Voted For You: Iraq

U.S. Sens. Robert C. Byrd and Jay Rockefeller, both D-W.Va., voted for the failed bid to advance a proposal "to provide for a reduction and transition of United States forces in Iraq."

Needing at least 60 votes, the motion to cut off debate was 52-47.

The Associated Press has the story. The vote followed an all-night session engineered by Senate Democrats to underscore discontent over the war's handling, but "the Senate's action left no doubt that Bush's decision last winter to deploy additional troops to Iraq will have at least two more months to produce results," the AP article said.
