Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold On Maintaining Language Requiring the Redeployment of U.S. Troops from Iraq March 27, 2007 “Today marks an important step toward ending the war in Iraq. For the first time, the U.S. Senate will pass binding legislation requiring the President to begin withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq. While this is long overdue, it is a big step in the right direction and it brings us closer to ending our involvement in this disastrous war.”
