by user DNL In November, the Democratic Party succeeded in fantastic fashion, taking both houses of Congress. Iraq was the litmus issue, as Bush's management (or lack thereof) worked as an effective talking point for Democratic hopefuls. With a 32-vote majority in the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi moved forward on Iraq. Her party introduced a bill which would set timetable tied based on Iraqi governmental goals, resulting in a U.S. troop withdrawal within 18 months. In other words, this shouldn't be hard for Pelosi to pull off. __NOEDITSECTION__
