US Senate to Call on Bush to Begin Planning End of Iraq War
15 November 2005
The U.S. Senate is expected to debate two proposals Tuesday calling on President Bush to establish a strategy that will lead to the eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
The proposals, introduced by both Democrats and Republicans, call for Mr. Bush to inform Congress and the American people every three months how he plans to achieve the successful completion of the U.S. mission in Iraq.
But the two sides disagree on whether to set a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
Democrats want the administration to give estimated dates on withdrawal, as long as certain conditions are met, while Republicans say setting any timetable would embolden the terrorists.
