Indeed. It's the White House's answer to the domestic political problem that the public has turned against the war and wants to see something different.
I'm not sure what S_A_M's issue is about "playing politics" with the war. The war is by far and away the most important to voters right now. If you check the polls, it comes in at 40-something%, and the next issue is in the single digits. Since Congress is expressing itself on policy but not tying the President's hands, what's the problem? How can they "push it too far"?
