Congress and Bush Braced for New Iraq Showdown
Stephen Collinson of Agence France-Presse reports that Congress will attempt to gain control of the Iraq war from Bush. The House of Representatives, holding an all-day debate, is expected to vote on a bill demanding the withdrawal of most combat troops from Iraq by April 1, 2008, beginning deployment in 120 days. It is not clear if Democrats in the Senate have enough support from ex-Bush allies to defeat delaying tactics by Republican leaders.
