By defeating an amendment that would have stricken language for a withdrawal date of March 31, 2008, the US Senate endorsed a spending bill that provides $121.6 billion mostly for the ongoing efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The House version of the bill has a mandatory withdrawal date of September 30, 2008. President George W. Bush has publicly stated that he would veto any legislation that included a withdrawal date. The Senate will soon vote on the bill.
