Well, it turns out that the guy who voted against every Democratic plan to demand accountability from the White House on Iraq because it was too “symbolic” is now pushing the “Iraq Study Group (ISG) Recommendations Implementation Act of 2007.”
Get this. It is a measure that is written as a “sense of the Congress” – meaning, “it has the same legal weight as National Ice Cream Day.”
Oh and by the way, the “Iraq Study Group (ISG) Recommendations Implementation Act of 2007” (if it was an actual law – which it is not) mandates that the we maintain troops in Iraq “subject to unexpected development in the security situation on the ground.” As Aravisis points out, this means that if things don’t get better, we don’t leave.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this Bush’s plan with a bow on it?
