Here is a new Iraq funding policy. Congress approves full funding for the next 3 months, then 75% funding for 3 months, then 50%, then 25%, and finally nothing. At each step, though, Congress has the authority to increase funding to 100% and start the clock over. Congress will do this if they see progress being made on the ground and within the Iraqi government. No hard-and-fast benchmarks that the terrorists can use to target their plans, just an agreement that progress is being made.
So as long a progress is being made, Bush keeps getting full funding. If progress is not being made, money gets cut off and troops will have to start pulling out.
What's your opinion?
