Snowe Signals Support For Timeline

Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, this afternoon told reporters that she will support a binding timeline for troop withdrawals from Iraq.

"Nothing's happening," Snowe said of political progress by the Iraqi government. She said she hadn't yet decided what amendment to the defense authorization bill to support.

In supporting a binding timeline, Snowe went further than other Republican senators who have recently expressed frustration with progress in Iraq.
