The Senate rejected a call for the withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from Iraq by year's end on Thursday as Congress erupted in impassioned, election-year debate over a conflict that now has claimed the lives of 2,500 American troops.
The vote was 93-6 to shelve the proposal, which would have allowed "only forces that are critical to completing the mission of standing up Iraqi security forces" to remain in 2007.

And who were "the six", the six United States Senators who honestly believe that the correct course of action, for the country and for the world, is for American forces to leave Iraq immediately?

John Kerry of Massachusettes
Russ Feingold of Wisconsin
Barbara Boxer of California
Robert Byrd of West Virginia
Tom Harkin of Iowa
Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts

May they be held accountable for their vote.

Kennedy: Vote Shows 93 Senators Out Of Mainstream

“The six of us represent the heart’s cry of every red-blooded American,” said Sen. Kennedy. “We hear the voice of the people, and the people say they want immediate, unconditional withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.”
