No, it's telling them what job to do. The military doesn't pick its jobs.

Either way, for both sides this is political posturing.

The Dems really just want us to pull out of Iraq, period. (btw I wouldn't give two shits if they did, just don't blame us for the impending genocide)

The Repubs don't want the Dems to control the timeline.

If the Dems had any balls on the issue they would drop all of the bull crap and completely show their true intentions and immediately cut all funding like Murtha wants. But of course they don't have the balls to do that.
