To require the President, in coordination with the Secretary of State, 
 the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other senior 
 military leaders, to develop and transmit to Congress a comprehensive 
  strategy for the redeployment of United States Armed Forces in Iraq.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against 
        Iraq Resolution of 2002 (Public Law 107-243), enacted into law 
        on October 16, 2002, authorized the President to use the Armed 
        Forces as the President determined necessary and appropriate in 
        order to defend the national security of the United States 
        against the continuing threat posed by the Government of Iraq 
        at that time.
            (2) The Government of Iraq which was in power at the time 
        the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq 
        Resolution of 2002 was enacted into law has been removed from 
        power and its leader indicted, tried, convicted, and executed 
        by the new freely-elected democratic Government of Iraq.
            (3) The current Government of Iraq does not pose a threat 
        to the United States or its interests.
            (4) After more than four years of valiant efforts by 
        members of the Armed Forces and United States civilians, the 
        Government of Iraq must now be responsible for Iraq's future 
        course.
