Republicans in Congress want troops withdrawn from Iraq, but they don’t want it to happen until after President Bush leaves office - and they’ve put forward a bill to that effect.

NBC’s hit comedy Scrubs is due to bow out this season, and fans are hoping for a satisfying series finale. They may not get it, though, if the writer’s strike continues.
