"I firmly believe Congress must unconditionally fund our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq," Herger stated in a news release. "Regrettably, the new House leaders developed a plan mandating that our troops leave Iraq under fixed timelines -- even if our generals in charge believe such withdrawals are not in our national security interest.

"Our nation's mission in Iraq is too important to fall victim to congressional micromanagement. For this reason, I opposed this measure."

The Employee Free Choice Act (Wally voted no, of course, and the president has threatened to veto it) passed in the House by 50 votes. It will probably get stuck in the Senate so Bush wont have to veto it.
