Sweet! The House GOP has called for a vote on Rep. Murtha's demand for a "cut and run" strategy in Iraq.

The GOP leadership decided to act little more than 24 hours after Rep. Jack Murtha, a hawkish Democrat with close ties to the military, said the time had come to pull out the troops. By forcing the issue to a vote, Republicans placed many Democrats in a politically unappealing position - whether to side with Murtha and expose themselves to attacks from the White House and congressional Republicans, or whether to oppose him and risk angering the voters that polls show want an end to the conflict.

UPDATE: Drudge is reporting that the vote is scheduled for tonight between 5:45 and 7:45pm.
