Democrats say close to new Iraq resolution

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Democratic-led Senate is moving closer to rewriting
the measure that paved the way for President Bush to invade Iraq nearly four years ago,
two top Democratic lawmakers said on Sunday.

The move would not repeal the Senate's 2002 vote authorizing the war, but instead limit
the mission of U.S. troops to focus on counter-terrorism efforts such as protecting Iraq's
borders, said Sen. Carl Levin, chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"It will not be combat in the middle of Baghdad. It will be a transition to a more limited
mission of supporting the Baghdad army training and logistics," the Michigan
Democrat told CBS's "Face the Nation."

He added the measure, expected to come up this week, would be binding.

1. There is NO mission for US troops in Iraq, they should reject this POS resolution

US troops have no reason to be in Iraq.
Illegal invasions should only be followed by hasty retreats.

2. Is this a total waste of time?

Bush is doing what ever he damn well pleases in Iraq, from stealing 8 billion dollars to supporting the insurgent.

The Dems are busy distracting themselves from the war on Bush...........they are all running for president.
