Yesterday Senator Chris Dodd announced his plans to end America's involvment in the Iraq civil war by amending the Defense Authorization bill. According to the Dodd campagin the amendment would do the following:
Immediately begin redeployment of U.S. combat troops.Set a firm deadline for completing redeployment by March 31, 2008.
Provide no additional funding for combat operations after March 31, 2008.
Hold the Bush Administration accountable during the redeployment period by requiring the Secretary of Defense to regularly report to Congress on the drawdown of forces.
Institute measures that would make funding within the redeployment period contingent on the progress of phased redeployment.
Restore the readiness of the military, Reserves and National Guard by transferring portions of monies that would have been available for combat activities.
