Senate votes on Iraq funding

According to an NPR bulletin just now, the Senate has voted to retain the timetable for withdrawal of troops in the funding bill.  New York Times doesn't have it yet.   Washington Post?  Tampoco.

Here we go, just posted at the WaPo website:

Defying a veto threat, the Democratic-controlled Senate narrowly signaled support Tuesday for the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by next March. Republican attempts to scuttle the non-binding timeline failed on a vote of 50-48, largely along party lines. The roll call marked the Senate's most forceful challenge to date of the administration's handling of a war that has claimed the lives of more than 3,200 U.S. troops.

Take that you White House sin vergüenzas!
