The Washington Post reports that House Passes Measure Opposing Troop Surge:
Capping four days of passionate, often angry debate, the House delivered President Bush its first rebuke since the Iraq war was launched nearly four years ago, voting 246 to 182 to oppose the administration's planned deployment of 21,500 additional combat troops to Iraq.Seventeen Republicans joined 229 Democrats to approve a resolution that expresses support for U.S. combat forces but opposes the additional deployments. Two Democrats opposed the measure.
In Minnesota's delegation, Jim Ramstad voted with all five Democrats in support of the resolution.
