House Democrats' New Strategy: Force Slow End to War« Thread Started on Feb 14, 2007, 8:54am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------House Democrats' New Strategy: Force Slow End to War By: John Bresnahan February 14, 2007 08:16 AM EST read at source> http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0207/2751.htmlTop House Democrats, working in concert with anti-war groups, have decided against using congressional power to force a quick end to U.S. involvement in Iraq, and instead will pursue a slow-bleed strategy designed to gradually limit the administration's options.Led by Rep.
