Dems to Propose Troop Withdrawal from Iraq by fall of '08
The Dems aren't going to do the right thing in Iraq, eventhough they control Congress and have control over the purse strings. On the contrary, they want this fiasco to fester until the 2008 election. In addition, George Bush has already said that he would leave it to another administration to pull out our troops. All this means is Americans will continue to die in Iraq and Afghanistan:
In a direct challenge to President Bush, House Democrats are advancing legislation requiring the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the fall of next year.
Democratic officials who described the measure said the timetable would be accelerated — to the end of 2007 — if the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki does not meet goals for providing Iraq's security.
