The House is set to vote today on a war-funding bill that sets a timetable for withdrawing US troops from Iraq. The Democratic measure would give President Bush nearly $100 billion more for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The bill also establishes tough new readiness standards for deploying combat forces and sets a September 2008 deadline to bring the troops home.

House Democratic leaders have made passage of the bill a top priority and have been pressuring lawmakers to approve the measure. The House Leadership has also gained the support of the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org which endorsed the bill. But it's unclear whether Democrats have the required 218 votes needed to pass in part because of opposition led by the leaders of the Out of Iraq Caucus. They say the bill doesn't go far enough and have proposed an amendment that would bring the troops home by the end of this year.

For a debate on the issue we are joined by two guests:

• Rep. Lynn Woolsey, Democratic Congresswoman from California. She is the co-founder of the Out of Iraq Caucus in the House.
• Robert Borosage, co-director of the Campaign for America's Future.
