   "Today's strong bipartisan vote represents a huge step forward in the effort to bring the war in Afghanistan to a close. I hope the President recognizes that there is a growing consensus in Congress and the country that our policy needs to change. Last year, I offered a similar amendment that got 162 votes - in a Democratic House." View House Clerk's vote totals here McGovern's floor speech:
