Baltimore City Urges Troop Withdrawal

The City Council unanimously approved a resolution Monday night that urges President Bush and Congress to "commence a humane, orderly, immediate and comprehensive withdrawal" of military personnel and bases from Iraq.

Councilman Keiffer J. Mitchell Jr. had opposed a similar council resolution in 2002 against the Iraq war. But he said Monday night that he decided now is the time for the city to speak up.


Mitchell said he was influenced by the deaths of soldiers from Baltimore and Maryland, including a Marine whom he once taught in high school.

...

The council's action is similar to resolutions passed in cities such as San Francisco, Chicago and Sacramento, Calif.
