Iraq Debate Previews Presidential Bids Votes on Senate Proposals for Withdrawal Set for Today By Shailagh Murray and Charles Babington Washington Post Staff Writers Thursday, June 22, 2006; Page A10 Yesterday's lengthy Senate debate over Iraq offered early hints of the 2008 presidential contest, with some potential candidates calling for a rapid drawdown of U.S. troops, some saying that only the president can decide such issues and others urging a middle ground. The debate will culminate today with votes on an amendment sponsored by two potential Democratic candidates -- John F. Kerry (Mass.) and Russell Feingold (Wis.) -- and an alternative backed by most party leaders. The Kerry-Feingold plan would order President Bush to withdraw nearly all U.S. troops from Iraq by July 31, 2007. The alternative, sponsored by two Democrats not weighing White House bids -- Carl M. Levin (Mich.) and Jack Reed (R.I.) -- is a nonbinding resolution urging Bush to begin a troop "redeployment" by the end of this year. It does not specify a pace or a completion date.
