warwoundfakerkerryliar lost again: The resolution was cobbled together by moderate Democrats trying to smooth over differences within the party. The minority leadership has tried to distance itself from a proposal by Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts that would set a mandatory deadline for American combat troops to be out of Iraq, a limit that Mr. Kerry modified only marginally on Monday, pushing it back from Dec. 31, 2006 to July 2007.

Some Republican lawmakers and the White House pointed to that proposal last week in attacking Democrats as inconsistent and weak on national security.

Mr. Levin's resolution did nothing to stop the Republicans' ridicule, with Mr. McConnell dismissing it in a Fox News interview as "cut and jog."

"The last thing you want to do when you have the terrorists on the run is give them notice that you're going to leave," he said.

President Bush spoke similarly at a Republican fund-raiser here Monday night. "An early withdrawal would embolden the terrorists — an early withdrawal would embolden Al Qaeda and bin Laden," Mr. Bush said. "There will be no early withdrawal so long as we run the Congress and occupy the White House."
