Reid refuses to change text of Iraq bill to Republican liking

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is assuring the public that the Democrats' plan to end the war will involve a timeline for withdrawal that the President must follow:

The Democratic leader said he will call for avote this month on several anti-war proposals, including one by Sen.Carl Levin that would insist President Bush end U.S. combat nextsummer. The proposals would be mandatory and not leave Bush wiggleroom, said Reid, D-Nev.

 

"There (are) no goals. It's all definite timelines," he told reporters of the planned legislation.

The Republicans will filibuster this legislation no matter what.  And this comes from the same party that complained when the Democrats blocked judicial nominees when they were in the minority.
