Last year, as part of a defense appropriation bill President Bush signed last year, he is required to work up a phased withdrawal plan for Iraq this year:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said she and other Democrats would introduce a resolution this week calling for a phased withdrawal, noting that Bush signed a defense bill last year calling for that in 2006.
“Three years and three months into the war, with all of the losses, the insurgency, the burgeoning civil war that’s taking place, an open-ended time commitment is no longer sustainable,” she said.
“We want to see an end to this thing. We want to transition the mission. That isn’t cutting and running,” Feinstein said on CNN’s “Late Edition.”
Unfortunately, President Bush does not feel obliged to obey the laws he signs — or any others.
