WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill requiring a withdrawal of most combat troops from Iraq starting within 120 days, to be completed by April 1.
The House voted by 223 votes to 201 to pass the measure, in defiance of President George W. Bush, who has already vetoed a previous troop withdrawal timeline framed by the Democratic party, and has pledged to do so again.
