Senate panel rejects Bush's Iraq troop plan 29 minutes ago WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Senate committee on Wednesday rejected President George W. Bush's plan to add troops in Iraq, sending the measure to the full Senate for a vote expected next week. ADVERTISEMENT On a bipartisan vote of 12-9, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a resolution expressing clear disapproval of Bush's Iraq policy, a day after he asked Congress to give it more time to work. The vote is nonbinding, but supporters hope it will convince the president to reconsider. In his State of the Union address to a defiant Congress on Tuesday, Bush insisted it was not too late to shape the outcome in Iraq with a new strategy. "I ask you to give it a chance to work," Bush said in the speech, the first time he faced a House of Representatives and Senate both controlled by Democrats. Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record) of Delaware, the committee's chairman, said the resolution was "not an attempt to embarrass the president. ... It is an attempt to save the president from making a significant mistake with regard to our policy in Iraq."
