WASHINGTON - The Democratic-controlled House issued a symbolic rejection of President Bush's plan to deploy more troops to Iraq on Friday, opening an epic confrontation between Congress and commander in chief over an unpopular war that has taken the lives of more than 3,100 U.S. troops.

The vote on the nonbinding measure was 246-182, with six not voting.

Within minutes, Democrats said their next move would be to challenge Bush’s request for $93 billion in new funds for the Pentagon.
