US Senate has rejected the bill on withdrawal of troops from Iraq
Offered by Democratic Party of the USA the bill on withdrawal of American troops from Iraq has not approved by the Senate. Only 52 from necessary 60 voices said “yes” to withdrawal of troops from Iraq, 47 senators have voted against it.
The bill has been brought by senators-democrats. If it has met with approval of the necessary majority, the administration of the president ought to have started withdrawal of military contingent from Iraq within 120 days and completely finish it till April, 30th 2008.
However, the legislation provided presence in Iraq not specified number of the American militaries for realization of some missions: counterterrorist operations, protection of the American objects and training of own Iraq safety forces.
Let’s remind, on July, 13th, 2007, the House of Representatives has approved the bill on withdrawal of troops within 120 days. 223 congressmen have voted for the approval bill, and 201 have voted against it.
Nevertheless, if the amendment managed was approved by the Senate, the President of the USA Georges Bush would, most likely, fulfill the promise and used the right of the veto. The US President would go on this step, despite of own recognition of an inaccuracy of American strategy in Iraq. Bush has also recently called inhabitants of the country to be more patient concerning the American campaign in Iraq.
