Timeline for Iraq withdrawal stays in

i'm surprised... i didn't expect it would be defeated...

An amendment to strip a timeline for withdrawal of US forces from Iraq was succesfully defeated today by Senate Democrats. Forty-eight senators voted in favor of the amendment, and 50 against it.

one dem crossed over to vote for it, mark pryor of arkansas... one repub crossed over to vote against it, chuck hagel of nebraska... i haven't see the other votes...
