In a sign that the Democratic leadership is ready to give the liberals their day, the Huffington Post reports that the leaders in both houses of Congress are preparing to back the strongest pro-withdrawal funding legislation yet — but it still has little chance of passing.

A draft of the bill states, "Within 30 days after enactment of this Act, the President shall commence an immediate and orderly redeployment of United States Armed Forces from Iraq." It would also order the president to come up with a plan to finish the withdrawal by December 2008.

An anonymous Dem aide told the HuffPo that the leadership "is committed to pushing this as far as it can go. But it will get filibustered or vetoed. Regardless, this will be the last funding bill in 2007."

The ultimate effect, then, will be to push the funding battles back to February 2008.
