Democrats Would Make Iraq Timetable in Bill ‘Advisory’
By Peter Baker and Jonathan Weisman
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, April 19, 2007; Page A18Congressional Democratic leaders are moving to make their proposed timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq “advisory” as they seek to reconcile two versions of war spending legislation into a single bill that they plan to pass next week, according to several House members.
The compromise language would keep the deadlines included in the original House bill but make them nonbinding, as the Senate version did, and would allow President Bush to waive troop-readiness standards, lawmakers said. Bush has vowed to veto legislation with timetables in it, calling it a schedule of surrender, but Democrats hope to show that they are being flexible and the president rigid by softening the terms.
The nutroots are not happy. Look like they may be issuing an “IMPORTANT ACTION ALERT” soon.
