Requires redeployment implementation as part of a comprehensive diplomatic, political, and economic strategy that includes sustained engagement with Iraq's neighbors and the international community to collectively bring stability to Iraq.
Requires reports from the President to Congress every 90 days on progress made in implementing such redeployment. All 51 Dem senators voted for it and 219 Dem House members (10 opposed).
Why is that so hard to understand?

I guess it is too vaugue.
What is a limited number?
Diplomatic strategy?
Economic strategy?
Engaging Iraqs neighbors?
I am sure Bush already thinks he is addressing those issues with his current plan. And, if that is what they want, why compromise now?
