Senate Dems Float Another Trial Balloon Power Line Senate Democrats, still seeking ways to dramatize their opposition to the Iraq war--without, of course, actually ending it--have leaked a new idea, apparently to see what sort of reaction it draws: <<< While these officials said the precise wording of the measure remains unsettled, one draft would restrict American troops in Iraq to combating al-Qaida, training Iraqi army and police forces, maintaining Iraq's territorial integrity and otherwise proceeding with the withdrawal of combat forces. The decision to try to limit the military mission marks the next move in what Reid and other Senate war critics have said will be a multistep effort to force a change in Bush's strategy and eventually force an end to U.S. participation in the nearly four-year-old war. >>> That sounds like a really great idea. If someone plants an IED or shoots at our troops, they can't fire back until they determine whether the attackers are al Qaeda or garden-variety insurgents. I have a feeling this trial balloon is not going to get airborne. One good thing, though: the Dems' Senate leadership is floating this concept in part because they are unhappy with Mad Jack Murtha's "slow bleed" strategy. Not, of course, because they object to his objective of bringing about defeat; rather, because they think Murtha's plan could create political liabilities.
