Liberal Dems Unveil Plan for Fully Funded Withdrawal
Path-Breaking Iraq Plan Unveiled for Fully-Funded Withdrawal
...
On Thursday morning, members of Congress are unveiling their plan for a fully-funded, systematic withdrawal of U.S. soldiers and military contractors from Iraq. The plan would provide all resources needed by military commanders to execute an orderly withdrawal by a date certain.

The proposal is being discussed at a 9:30am Capitol Hill news conference, featuring Reps. Barbara Lee, Lynn Woolsey, Maxine Waters, Jerry Nadler, Keith Ellison, Maurice Hinchey and others. There can be no complaints that this plan in any way endangers U.S. troops.

Antiwar forces are uniting behind this plan, which is expected to be proposed as an amendment to Bush’s $93 billion Iraq supplemental appropriation request. Instead of funding an endless war, Congress will be offered a way to fund an orderly end to the war -- thereby heeding the call voters sent them last November.

1. Good
My only complaint is that the names mentioned should be joined by a lot more, including the House leadership. Every day we delay means more dead American troops. (Kerry: "Who will be the last to die for a mistake?)
