WITHDRAWAL LANGUAGE SURVIVES. Take a look. John McCain's comment:
But presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said the bill �should be named the State Certain for Surrender Act,� adding that �a second-year cadet at West Point will tell you if you announce to the enemy that you�re leaving, it�s a recipe for defeat.�Among the conservative Dems, Ben Nelson voted to keep the withdrawal language in while Mark Pryor and Joe Lieberman voted to strike it. Among Republicans, Chuck Hagel and Gordon Smith voted to keep the withdrawal language.McCain called the provision �one of the most shameful things I�ve ever seen.�
--Sam Rosenfeld
