Kerry and Kennedy Are Causing
Problems for Democrats Again
Senators Kerry and
Kennedy are still causing serious problems for Democrats.
The New York Times
reports that: “[One proposal] sponsored by Kerry and Sen. Russ Feingold
of Wisconsin, would require that the administration withdraw all combat
troops from Iraq by July 1, 2007, with redeployments beginning this
year.
“The
other proposal -- which Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid
and most of his rank-and-file support -- would call for the administration
to begin ''a phased redeployment of U.S. forces'' by Dec. 31. The
nonbinding resolution would not set a deadline of when all forces
must be withdrawn.”
The
Times continues: “Democrats played down concerns, voiced privately
by some party strategists, that the Kerry-Feingold call for a ‘hard-and-fast’
deadline is hindering Democratic efforts to project a unified position
on Iraq
for the fall.
“Still,
that did not explain why Democratic leaders spent more than a week
trying to write a ‘consensus’ proposal. They hoped it would persuade
Kerry and Feingold to drop their own, which would set a ‘date certain’for
ending the U.S.
combat mission.
“In
the end, the two potential 2008 Democratic presidential candidates
were not swayed.
“As
a result, two votes are planned -- both set up by Democrats and both
likely to give Republicans ammunition just in time for campaign season.”
