Capping four days of passionate, often angry debate, the House delivered President Bush its first rebuke since the Iraq war was launched nearly four years ago, voting 246 to 182 to oppose the administration's planned deployment of 21,500 additional combat troops to Iraq.
Seventeen Republicans joined 229 Democrats to approve a resolution that expresses support for U.S. combat forces but opposes the additional deployments. Two Democrats opposed the measure.
...
The action will now move to the Senate where Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) announced yesterday a rare Saturday vote to begin debate on the House resolution.
Within minutes of the House vote, the White House issued a response, pointing out that Bush's plan to send reinforcements to Iraq is supported by the Iraqi government and U.S. military leaders.
