Congress OKs Iraq Troop Withdrawal Bill

UPDATE: CNN is reporting that the Senate has passed the war spending bill with the troop withdrawal provision intact. But the 51 votes cast for the bill are nowhere near the 67 needed to override President Bush's expected veto. [JH]

By a vote of 218-208, the House approved a $124 billion war spending bill that would require American troops to begin withdrawing from Iraq by Oct. 1.  President Bush has said repeatedly that he will veto it.
