WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a direct challenge to President Bush, House Democrats announced Thursday that they will push legislation setting a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Iraq.

The Democratic plan, said House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, will bring an "orderly and responsible close" to American participation in Iraq's "civil war."

The proposal would require the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops by the fall of next year, officials had said Wednesday night.

Most Iraqis, especially those of the jihadist persasion, have a very limited understanding of our political system. They'll read a lot more into this then we do. I know for a fact that the higher up the chain you go, the more comfort the terrorists find in this. I've seen some of them explain the situation in very basic but very accurate terms. They know that they can't beat us, but that they can wait us out.

To the jihadis, this sort of announcement is like a lost ship spotting land on the horizon.
