The United States House of Representatives has voted in favour of pulling most combat troops out of Iraq by April next year.
The legislation calls for the Pentagon to begin withdrawing combat troops within four months.

The vote comes despite President George W Bush's threat to veto any timetable.

Correspondents say the House of Representatives, controlled by the Democrats, is hoping to pressure the Senate to approve a similar timeline.

It is the third time this year the House has voted to end US military involvement in Iraq.

Two previous efforts either failed in the Senate or were vetoed by President Bush.

The latest attempt would allow some US forces to stay in Iraq to train the Iraqi army and carry out counter-terrorism operations.

Pack the motherfucker back into his pilot jumpsuit and send him over to Iraq to stand shoulder to shoulder with the ones that he's endangering in his PERSONAL fucked up war. Not enough that we're losing lifes, billions of $, are not changing a fucking thing over there, we're now also absolutely hated across the planet!

WTG assfuck!

It'll be interesting to see what the Senate does. There have been a bunch of defectors from the Republican party in the Senate and there are even more up for election. Not sure if it'll pass, but I think it puts a lot of Republicans on the record as to what they actually stand for.
