Obama Steps Up To The Plate
Will offer a binding resolution mandating the removal of all combat troops, starting in May and completed by the end of the first quarter of 2008. This strikes me as good American policy and good political strategy for Obama. The candidates who are in Congress have a special responsibility to try and *do something* since they can. This puts Hillary in a tough spot. I know she's proposed de-funding the *Iraqi government* if they don't start taking control. But this is a different thing.

Here's a question - would Bush even heed a binding resolution? Is a constitutional crisis about the powers of executive v. legislative inevitable?
