Sen. Ben Nelson said Wednesday he’ll push for a change in the military mission when the Senate next week resumes consideration of U.S. policy in Iraq.

U.S. troops should be phased out of sectarian conflict in Baghdad, Nelson said, and redeployed to pursue and destroy al-Qaida elements in Iraq.

That transition over a six-month period would lead to reduced troop levels without any artificial deadlines for U.S. withdrawal, he said.

During his time in Nebraska during the August congressional recess, Nelson said, “Iraq certainly dominated the conversation almost everywhere.”

Most Americans, he said, are asking “when will our troops come home.”

It took our Senator this long to figure this out?
