Not much news on this, but this article was good.

It seems Democrats were more so supportive to an amendment which would have extended the duration of the withdrawal in a different bill:

>In July 2022, the House voted on a proposed amendment to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act introduced by Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) that would have cut all funds for the US presence in Syria within one year if President Biden didn’t get authorization for the war. The amendment failed, but it received support from about 60% of House Democrats.

That bill was introduced by Democrats, so I think this is partially "we want the legislature we write to get passed, not the other side" kind of thing that always happens. E: NH House Reps still voted no on that amendment.

The only defense of this bill I see is from when the top US general visited Syria and essentially said our presence is to deter ISIS. Sounds kind of weak.
