But can’t decide what to do next<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Late last month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed July would be a “month of action in the Congress to end the war in Iraq.”
\nBut so far, the House has considered only one Iraq measure this month, a troop withdrawal resolution, and Democratic leaders are still mulling the next steps.
\n“It’s unclear what’s going on now,” said an aide to a liberal Democrat. “We haven’t been told what the next vote will be or when it will happen.”
