On Friday, did House Dems announce a new Iraq withdrawal timetable?

[Fridays Child]

If not, the DCCC has lied, outright. If they did, what is it and where can we read about it?

From the DCCC's Thursday, May 24 email: "Tomorrow, Democrats in the House will announce a new plan to bring legislation forward that includes timetables."

This Is Not the End of the Debate

"I’m really glad that the Republicans finally admit that there’s a need for accountability. But what they haven’t done is met that need with something appropriate. This is like a fig leaf. This is a token. This is a small step forward."
-Speaker Pelosi, 5/24/07

"There are really only two groups of people standing in the way of change in Iraq. One is President Bush and the White House, and the others are Republican Members of Congress who continue to be a rubber stamp for the White House.

And the fact of the matter is, had it not been for the President's veto and the fact that you continue to have Republican Members of Congress rubber stamp and be unwilling to override the veto and listen to the message sent by the American people, we would have had a change in direction in an extensive way. "
- Rep. Van Hollen, 5/25/07

Democrats in Congress are committed to keep fighting to change the course of the war in Iraq. This week, we passed the emergency supplemental funding request in two parts: the first to fund key domestic priorities including military and veterans’ health care, the first minimum wage increase in a decade, children’s health care and Katrina recovery, and the second to provide the requested funds for the Iraq war, including 18 separate accountability and reporting requirements. The Speaker voted against the legislation providing funding for the war in Iraq.

Democrats had hoped that the President would have accepted our initial proposals, which called to end the war, which we sent to him over and over again. We proposed meeting his request, and doing more for our troops and veterans, and at the same time working to wind down this war.

This is not the end of the debate. There will be legislation on the floor in the next several months to change the mission, from combat to fighting terrorism, training and diplomatic and force protection.
