House Military Authorization Bill Requires Unprecedented Oversight for Withdrawal from Iraq
June 26... The House of Representatives in late June passed the first legislation affirming the United States legal agreement with Iraq to withdrawal all U.S. military troops from that country by December 31, 2011. In one of the strongest signs yet that Congress is committed to ending the war in Iraq, the House approved a military authorization bill that established Congressional oversight of the Pentagon's plans for withdrawing from Iraq and requires reporting every three months on progress in ending U.S. military involvement in Iraq.
