| Description | As the U.S. military death toll in Iraq reached 2,000 last week, three members of the Illinois congressional delegation said they support bringing troops home.
The most specific proposal came from Rep. Don Manzullo, who said the United States should begin a phased-in withdrawal of troops after the Dec. 15 parliamentary elections in Iraq — provided that enough Iraqi troops have been trained to stabilize the country.
Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin of Springfield and Barack Obama of Chicago were more vague. Both urged the Bush administration to lay out a strategy to achieve stability in Iraq and bring U.S. troops home as soon as possible.
Manzullo, a Republican from Egan, has supported the war in Iraq from the beginning. The two senators have been consistent critics.
