WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush said Saturday that a Democratic plan to set an end date for the war gives "our enemies the victory they desperately want."Bush and Democratic congressional leaders are trying to bolster their positions on the Iraq war before a scheduled White House meeting.At Bush's invitation, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are due at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the war, particularly a bill funding the military mission through September.In both the House and Senate, Democrats have attached timelines for withdrawing troops to the bill containing $96 billion in military funding.Bush: Timeline restricts commandersBush says the meeting will be about his nonnegotiable stance on a timeline."Instead of approving this funding, Democrats in Congress have spent the past 68 days pushing legislation that would undercut our troops," he said in his weekly radio address. "They passed bills that would impose restrictions on our military commanders and set an arbitrary date for withdrawal from Iraq, giving our enemies the victory they desperately want."In a statement, Reid, D-Nevada, responded: "Democrats are continuing to fight to fully fund our troops and give them a strategy for success worthy of their sacrifices. President Bush continues to insist that we follow his same failed strategy that has drawn our troops further into an intractable civil war."
