"WASHINGTON — Several leading Congressional Democrats complained Thursday that President Obama’s troop withdrawal plan would still leave behind too many American forces in Iraq, exposing a rare fault line between the White House and its Capitol Hill allies.
As Mr. Obama prepared to fly to Camp Lejeune, N.C., on Friday to announce his decision, legislative leaders signaled skepticism about the prospect of keeping a residual force of up to 50,000 troops in Iraq beyond the summer of 2010. The leftover units would focus on training Iraqi security forces, hunting down terrorists and protecting American institutions."
