If anyone was confused about the purpose of the Democrats' relentless nattering over the war in Iraq, Friday night's vote in the House of Representatives should expose that nattering for what it is, pure partisan politicking ("Pullout rejected 403-3," Page 1, Saturday). By a vote of 403-3, the House rejected a bill that called for the United States to withdraw from Iraq immediately; 187 Democrats joined 215 Republicans (and one independent) in expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq not be terminated immediately.
