WASHINGTON March 28, 2007 Senate Supports a Pullout Date in Iraq War Bill
By JEFF ZELENY and CARL HULSE

And a hip, hip, hooray for Oregon and Nebraska, represented in this article:

"The outcome of the Senate vote took both parties by surprise. Republicans were stung by the defection of Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, who has not supported a timetable for withdrawal before although he is his party’s most outspoken critic of the war in Congress.
“There will not be a military solution to Iraq,” Mr. Hagel declared. “Iraq belongs to the 25 million Iraqis who live there. It doesn’t belong to the United States. Iraq is not a prize to be won or lost.”
The Democrats also gained the vote of Senator Ben Nelson, a Nebraska Democrat, who voted against a withdrawal date just two weeks ago.
“People want our troops home,” Mr. Nelson said.
The two other senators who crossed party lines were Gordon H. Smith, an Oregon Republican, who supported the withdrawal date. . ."
