the Hill........The Democratic call for a timetable for withdrawal was excised from the GOP version, a statement that “United States military forces should not stay in Iraq indefinitely” was changed to say that they should not be there “any longer than necessary,”

I think this Republican version is W's position.

I wish I could agree with you. The Republican version, also, seems to call for an unclassified "report" (duplicate to Al-Queda for planning purposes) every X number of days.

Also, once they "compromise" ....... I honestly believe that the Republicans have lost their collective minds! Maybe we can urge them not to do anything on this bill until after the Y\E break - maybe going back to their home States will restore some SANITY.
