CAPITOL HILL (AP) — House Democrats have launched another challenge to President Bush's Iraq war strategy.
They've announced they'll push for legislation that would set a timetable for pulling out US combat troops.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the plan calls for the “strategic redeployment of US combat troops” by late 2008.
She says the deadline would be added to legislation providing nearly $100 billion the Bush administration had requested for combat efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Congressman David Obey, who chairs the appropriations committee, says the move will bring an "orderly and responsible close“ to US involvement in what he calls Iraq's "civil war.”
