Why can't the Dems in the House put forward a bill funding the withdrawal of the troops while refusing to bring the DOD (Iraq funding) to the floor? I realize bush would veto the bill funding the withdrawal but then the Dems bring the bill back to the floor, vote on it and send it back, yet again, to bush?

At the same time they are doing that, the Dems keep on message and make it clear it is bush vetoing the funds for the troops, it is not the Dems.

To merely not bring the Iraq funding bill to the floor without replacing it with a bill most Americans would support, the withdrawal of the troops would do exactly what Randi says but if they bring their own bill forward instead then they can compare what they, the Dems, are trying to do for the troops versus bush who would be the one refusing to fund the troops.
