I would like to hear opinions about this proposed Act. A synopsis:
The Iraq Troop Protection & Reduction Act of 2007 presents a comprehensive approach to Iraq that halts the President's escalation policy and provides an alternative strategy in Iraq with the goal of stabilizing the country so American troops can redeploy out of Iraq. Senator Clinton's legislation puts real pressure on the Iraqi government, requiring the Iraqis to make political progress or lose funding for their military and reconstruction, require the Bush Administration to begin a phased redeployment and convene an international conference within 90 days or a new Congressional authorization would be required to remain in Iraq. Finally, the legislation would prohibit the use of funds to send troops to Iraq unless they have the proper equipment and training.

If the President were to follow the provisions in this legislation then the United States should be able to complete a redeployment of troops out of Iraq by the end of his term.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I am looking for actual commentary on the proposals, not commentary on whether or not you like Hillary Clinton. Thank you.

it truly is a disingenuopus ploy. all of them comprehend Bush plans onn bringing the troops residing house earlier he's out of workplace to assist the Respublican candidate. The democrats are trying to position a pin on it that they are the reason the troops are residing house. it truly is an empty political ploy disguised as "assisting" the troops. She must be embarrassed about herself, yet truly is smarmily patting herself on the decrease decrease back. She and John Murtha are playing politics with squaddies' lives.

This is a shocking attempt to usurp Executive power. Congress does not have the legal authority to dictate foreign policy or to dictate military tactics.
One should have serious concerns about a legislator who would so blatantly attempt to so abuse the Constitutional separation of powers.
The Congress can fund the war or not - their Constitutional power is that of the pursestrings, but they have no authority to dictate Executive branch foreign policy or military policy.

I like that idea...and if you had not put that Sentor Clinton
said it you would have more people say they like it too.
Most people disagree with what she says...So I think she needs a pin name to write things.
You go girl.
