JEFF ZELENY--new york times
"Representative Dan Boren is a Democrat, but after visiting Iraq last week he announced a decision that puts him at odds with his party’s leaders: he intends to vote against their plan to set a deadline for troops to leave Iraq."
A deadline would essentially mean that congress cuts off the funds to Iraq. At this point in time, Boren believes that this plan of action is not the right one, and doing so would only stunt the progress that we are having in Iraq today. It is interesting to see his change of heart after going to iraq, and at the same time, i completely agree with him. Simply cutting off funds is not the best way of going about ending the struggle in Iraq and getting people out. I just hope that he can propose an acceptable alternative to the members of congress in time.
