Some Democratic activists seek an immediate withdrawal and are pressing for Congress to cut off funding for the war, but that is unlikely. Congress is reluctant to be portrayed as failing to support troops in the field; while they will criticize, they will not block Bush’s plan.
控制新国会的几位民主党国会议员不同意这一措施。某些民主党活动分子寻求立即撤军并且正在给国会施压要求减少对伊拉克战争的拨款，但是这不大可能。国会不大愿意被描绘成为不支持前线战士；尽管他们会予以批评，但是他们还是不会阻碍布什的计划。
