Senate Passes Iraq Funding Bill

The Senate passed it out (51-47, with Hagel(R-Ne) and Smith(R-Ore.) voting with the Dems, and good ol' Joe Liar-mann (Asshole-Ct.) voting with the Repugs. It is actually tougher than the House Bill, requiring withdrawal completion by March of 08, while the House set a deadline of fall of 08. On to conference!
