It is time for us to come to the floor and express what is in our heart about this war. A war that has claimed over three thousand, six hundred and eleven American lives. A war that has cost us 30-thousand injuries - ten thousand of them severe injuries - amputations, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns - a war that cost this nation over five hundred (b) billion (US) dollars and costs us more than 12 (b) billion (US) dollars a month.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Senator Dick Durban, Democrat - Illinois:\u003cbr/\u003e\"Well, Madam President, objection is heard and I think it is very clear you can't object to the vote, say you are ready to vote and then object to the vote. \u003cbr/\u003eBeds were rolled into a room off the US Senate floor on Tuesday and members were told to prepare for repeated votes throughout the evening as Democrats refused to budge as the chamber moved toward a rare, all-night session of debate on legislation to bring U.S. troops home later this year.\u003cbr/\u003eSenators even left open the possibility of dispatching the sergeant at arms to summon colleagues from their homes to the floor if lawmakers ignored the debate.\u003cbr/\u003eThe goal of the planned marathon debate was to test the patience of Republicans, who have threatened to delay the bill. \u003cbr/\u003eSo far, the Republican leadership has been successful at blocking anti-war legislation because Democrats do not have the 60 votes to cut off what would become an endless debate on the war.\u003cbr/\u003eMajority leader, Harry Reid, urged his fellow Senators not to wait until President George W. Bush was out of office to change Iraq war tactics.\u003cbr/\u003e\"A 'yes' vote on this bipartisan amendment  would finally bind President Bush to responsibly reduce combat operations and return our focus to the real and growing threats we face,\" Reid said.  \u003cbr/\u003eAfter months of threatened delaying tactics, Richard Durbin, the Number Two Democrat, asked: \" Is it worth one night of lost sleep to debate that? You bet it is.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"I happen to believe as well that the Senate spending a sleepless night is no great sacrifice. Soldiers, and the families who pray for them spend many sleepless nights and it is time for the Senate to do the same.  It is time for us to come to the floor and express what is in our heart about this war,\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eDurbin, the senator for Illinois  then gave a list of figures to remind the Senate the cost of the war in Iraq.\u003cbr/\u003e\"A war that has cost us 30-thousand injuries - ten thousand of them severe injuries - amputations, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns - a war that cost this nation over five hundred (b) billion (US) dollars and costs us more than 12 (b) billion (US) dollars a month.  Is it worth one night of lost sleep to discuss and debate that? You bet it is.\"\u003cbr/\u003eRepublicans dismissed the manoeuvre as political theatre and said the Senate should vote to forgo the debate and vote immediately on whether to advance the measure.\u003cbr/\u003eWith a test vote set for Wednesday capping a day and night of debate Democratic officials conceded they were likely to get 52 or 53 votes at most. \u003cbr/\u003eThat is well short of the 60 needed to force a final vote on the measure.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile the issue was momentous  a war more than four years in duration, costing more than 3,600 U.S. troops and many\u003cbr/\u003ethousands of Iraqis their lives  the proceedings were thick with politics.\u003cbr/\u003eWhether the vote comes on Tuesday or Wednesday, the proposal is expected to gain a majority of senators, but not reach the 60-vote threshold.\u003cbr/\u003eThe top Republican on the Armed Services Committee, Senator John McCain, said \"Should the Congress force a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq it would mark a new beginning - the start of a new more dangerous and more arduous effort to contain the forces unleashed by our disengagement\".\u003cbr/\u003eThe legislation under debate, proposed by two Democrats - Senators Carl Levin and Jack Reed - would order troops to start leaving in 120 days and complete the pullout by April 30, 2008. \u003cbr/\u003eUnder the bill, an unspecified number of troops could remain behind to fight militants, protect U.S. assets and train Iraqi security forces.\u003cbr/\u003eRepublicans mostly have been united against setting a timetable for troop withdrawals, but Republican leaders have told the White House their job of retaining support for the war will become exponentially harder after September. \u003cbr/\u003eMany Republicans say they want to see substantial progress by then.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false'
