House Democrats to Call for Timed Withdrawal of US Troops from Iraq
Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have crafted a proposal that will require the removal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the end of 2008.
The plan, which will be presented to Democratic lawmakers Thursday, sets a timetable for U.S. forces to leave if the Iraqi government does not meet certain goals, including establishing security for its people and creating an oil revenue sharing plan.
The measure requires the Pentagon to certify troops are properly trained, equipped and rested before being deployed to Iraq. But it also allows President Bush to waive these conditions.
Democratic leaders plan to add the proposal to a bill that calls for spending 100-billion dollars for military operations in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
