Cheney's accusation against the Democrats regarding the proposed bill is interesting -- he "accused Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday of pursuing a defeatist strategy in Iraq to win votes in the next election." But when you consider that the Democrats are in office because they've already won those votes, it's safe to say that the majority of voting Americans do not feel that the US presence in Iraq makes any sense, and that they'd agree with a pull out.
From CNN:
Democrats are preparing to send Bush a $124.2 billion bill that would, among other things, fund the war in Iraq but require that troops begin pulling out on Oct. 1, or earlier if the Iraqi government does not make progress in tamping down sectarian violence and forging political agreements. The bill ultimately sets a nonbinding goal for combat operations to end by April 1, 2008.
The only question now is whether or not Iraq is capable of dealing with sectarian fragmentation.
