Democrats mull trying to cap Iraq troops levels
The Democrats would need some bipartisan support for this but it sounds like a good idea.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Congress could possibly limit the number of U.S. troops in Iraq by forcing President George W. Bush to seek approval from lawmakers for additional deployments, a top Democratic senator said on Friday.

Assistant Senate Majority Leader Richard Durbin said that was just one of several options before Democrats, who took over control of both the House and Senate this week from Bush's Republicans.
