Feingold says Levin, Warner 'misunderstand' Iraq

Today, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) said he opposes the Warner-Levin Iraq Resolution. "I oppose the weak Warner-Levin resolution as currently written because it misunderstands the situation in Iraq and shortchanges our national security interests."

Senators John Warner (R-VA) and Carl Levin (D-MI) agreed upon a non-binding bill that expresses opposition to the troop buildup. Warner and Levin originally were sponsoring two individual measures, but reached an agreement wherein Levin removed some of his bill’s harsher language and vowed to protect funding for the military operation.

But that's not enough, as far as Feingold is concerned. "The resolution rejects redeploying U.S. troops and supports moving a misguided military strategy from one part of Iraq to another. The American people have rejected the President’s Iraq strategy and it’s time for Congress to end our military involvement in this war," he said.
