timeline of 1960s counterculture
democrats in the house of representatives near-unanimously supported a non-binding resolution disapproving of president bush's decision to send additional troops into iraq in 2007. congressional democrats overwhelmingly supported military funding legislation that included a provision that set "a timeline for the withdrawal of all us combat troops from iraq" by march 31, 2008, but also would leave combat forces in iraq for purposes such as targeted counter-terrorism operations. after a veto from the president and a failed attempt in congress to override the veto, the u.s. troop readiness, veterans' care, katrina recovery, and iraq accountability appropriations act, 2007 was passed by congress and signed by the president after the timetable was dropped. criticism of the iraq war subsided after the iraq war troop surge of 2007 led to a dramatic decrease in iraqi violence. the democratic-controlled 110th congress continued to fund efforts in both iraq and afghanistan. presidential candidate barack obama advocated a withdrawal of combat troops within iraq by late 2010 with a residual force of peacekeeping troops left in place. he stated that both the speed of withdrawal and the number of troops left over would be "entirely conditions-based".
