Jerry Nadler

Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., a member of the Progressive Caucus. Nadler would not say whether he'd support the measure, but "considering the Senate is ruled by the filibuster - we did about the best we could.

Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., was the only lawmaker at a meeting of all House Democrats on Thursday to stand up and declare he could not support a compromise plan to fund the Iraq war with a timeline to end the conflict.So some party leaders had written him off even as he joined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a private meeting.In the confines of the speaker's suite, Nadler could be specific.He sought assurances from Pelosi, D-Calif., that President Bush would be compelled to withdraw all troops from combat by August 2008, as the legislation proposed.He wanted to know: "What is the legal compulsion to follow this timeline?"A Pelosi aide disappeared from the meeting for a few minutes and returned with a few lines of legislative text offering what Nadler wanted to hear: Once troops are out of Iraq, no money would be available to put them back in, outside the narrow exceptions of targeted counterterrorism operations, embassy protection and efforts to train Iraqis.News Blogger Sun, 11 Mar 2007 05:05:45 +0000

( 3 ) The DSA , of course , is the domestic arm of Socialists International , out of London. ( 4 ).
