"Because in addition to providing much more
support and funding to the troops than the President himself proposed,
the bill would also establish a presumption that redeployment of troops
from Iraq is to begin by this July, if the Iraqis are not meeting the President's benchmarks, and if the President is unable to make the case to delay the beginning of redeployment to a later date.
...
Thus, President Bush would be required to
certify whether the Iraqi government is meeting the diplomatic and
security benchmarks that he himself has prominently insisted upon. If
he certifies that all the benchmarks are being met, the Secretary must begin
to redeploy the troops from Iraq no later than October 1st of this
year; and if -- as is more likely the case -- the President does not
certify that each of the benchmarks is being been met, then the
Secretary must begin to redeploy the troops no later than July 1st.

Please read the whole article that I quoted. It is a must read.

I wonder if the final version will omit all the pork? Do you have any info on that?BTW I am all for the Democrat bill, they are simply doing what the majority of Americans want, its too bad Mr. George thinks he is above doing what his constituents want. I have a news flash for him, that little bunker he and Dick are holed up in is getting hotter by the day.
