US Senate Democrats Plan Around-the-Clock Debate on Iraq

Leaving Iraq should be immediate but gradual (if that makes sense), handing the war to the Iraqi military, that would continue to be be trained by us. Its their civil war. Let them fight it. Peace keeping responsibilities should be turned over to the UN. Initially our troops could retreat to the periphery of the country to guard the borders (you heard this one before). We should also promote a division of the country on federal-type system much like what we see in Bosnia. But it won't happen. Not as long as Bush is in power:

U.S. Senate Democratic leaders are planning an around-the-clock debate on Iraq beginning Tuesday to try to pressure Republicans to vote for legislation calling for a withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by next April. VOA's Deborah Tate reports from Capitol Hill.

The Democratic-sponsored troop withdrawal measure calls for the pullout to begin within 120 days after passage and completed by April of next year. Some troops would remain in Iraq to train Iraqi forces and fight terrorism.
