ASSociated Press: Senate rejects U.S. troop pullout in Iraq

Congress plunged into divisive election-year debate on the Iraq war Thursday as the U.S. military death toll reached 2,500. The Senate soundly rejected a call to withdraw combat troops by year’s end, and House Republicans laid the groundwork for their own vote.

Wonder if the vote will be used by Code Pink and Cindy Sheehan against Hillary?
