Senate Votes on 2007-075

 


Vote number 2007-075 redeploying US troops out of Iraq by March 2008
on Mar 15, 2007 regarding bill S.J.Res.9 US Policy in Iraq Resolution
Results: Resolution rejected 48-50

Begins the phased redeployment of US forces from Iraq within 120 days of enactment of this joint resolution with the goal of redeploying by March 31, 2008, all US combat forces from Iraq, except for a limited number essential for protecting US and coalition personnel and infrastructure, training and equipping Iraqi forces, and conducting targeted counter-terrorism operations. Such redeployment shall be implemented as part of a diplomatic, political, and economic strategy that includes sustained engagement with Iraq's neighbors and the international community in order to bring stability to Iraq.

Proponents recommend voting YES because:

Our troops are caught in the midst of a civil war. The administration has begun to escalate this war with 21,000 more troops. This idea is not a new one. During this war, four previous surges have all failed. It is time for a different direction. It is time for a drawdown of our troops.

Opponents recommend voting NO because:

Voting Y counts for 2 points on VoteMatch question 17: Continue Foreign Aid to UN, NATO, & others.
