Reid and Pelosi write to Bush to express their opposition to a troop increase in Iraq:"Adding more combat troops will only endanger more Americans and stretch our military to the breaking point for no strategic gain," Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a letter to Bush as he prepares to outline a new Iraq strategy.
"Rather than deploy additional forces to Iraq, we believe the way forward is to begin the phased redeployment of our forces in the next four to six months, while shifting the principal mission of our forces there from combat to training, logistics, force protection and counter-terror," Reid and Pelosi wrote.
Meanwhile, McCain and Lieberman continue to make no sense whatsoever.
