House GOP nears vote on Iraq withdrawal

(snip)
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi decried the Bush administration's "strategic blunders" in Iraq on Friday as the House headed toward a GOP-engineered vote on a resolution that forces lawmakers to take a position on withdrawing American forces.

"Stay the course, I don't think so Mr. President. It's time to face the facts," Pelosi, D-Calif., said, adding that she will vote against a Republican resolution that she called "an affirmation of the president's failed policy in Iraq."

Democrats denounced the debate and vote as a politically motivated sham, and several prominent Democrats joined Pelosi in saying they would vote against the measure even though Republicans could then try to claim that Democrats don't support U.S. troops.

A few Republicans who have publicly expressed misgivings about the war also were expected to oppose the resolution. Some GOP incumbents who face tough challenges from Democrats in November issued qualified support for the measure but also criticized the GOP-led Congress
