Reid: Iraq plan 'unacceptable'

WASHINGTON - A day before Bush was to deliver a major address on the war, Senate Democrats rejected a four-star general's recommendation to keep some 130,000 troops in Iraq through next summer and called for legislation that would sharply limit the mission of U.S. forces. Their proposal was not expected to set a deadline to end the war, as many Democrats want, but instead restrict troops to a narrow set of objectives: training the Iraqi military and police, protecting U.S. assets and fighting terrorists, party officials told the Associated Press.

Look, this is not what the electorate had in mind when they put the Democrats into the majority. Now, stop with the flaccid proposals and start putting troop withdrawal on the damn table.
