Kerry Praises Senate Vote on Deadline for Withdrawal of US Troops from Iraq




Washington D.C. - Senator John Kerry today issued the following statement, after the Senate voted to defeat an effort to remove a troop deadline provision from separate spending legislation.

"Today's vote gets our country one step closer to ending this ill-advised war and bringing our troops home. Last summer there were only 13 votes in favor of a deadline to redeploy our troops out of Iraq, and allowing the Iraqis to settle their civil war. Today there were 50. I encourage President Bush to think carefully about the strong majority of the American public that no longer believes in this war before he vetoes this bill.
