Real Security Act of 2006

The Real Security Act of 2006 is broad United States national security legislation proposed by the Democrats. Among its provisions are measures to combat [...] abroad, protect the homeland through port and transportation security and other measures, and begin a phased withdrawal of American troops from Iraq before the end of the year. 12

On Iraq, it outlines strategy as follows:

    (i) expedite the transition of United States forces in Iraq 
    to a limited presence and mission of training Iraqi security 
    forces, providing logistic support of Iraqi security forces, 
    protecting United States infrastructure and personnel, and 
    participating in targeted counterterrorism activities;

(ii) after consultation with the Government of Iraq, begin

    the phased redeployment of United States forces from Iraq 
    this year; and

(iii) submit to Congress a plan by the end of 2006 with

    estimated dates for the continued phased redeployment of 
    United States forces from Iraq, with the understanding that 
    unexpected contingencies may arise...

It further calls for an international conference and a non-military effort to support reconstruction, governance, and a durable political solution.
