August
Believed in “put[ting] forward a strategy for success” in Iraq and for moving [it] decisively toward self-defense and self-rule” (the administration's position)

October 11, 2005
The Iraq Forum on October 11, 2005 demonstrated, once again, the discrepancy between Representative Price and his constituency on the issue of pulling the troops out of Iraq on a set timetable.

Representative Price has changed his position since August from believing in “put[ting] forward a strategy for success” in Iraq and for moving [it] decisively toward self-defense and self-rule” to, in October, believe that “we need to begin leaving Iraq” by adopting an “exit strategy” (which he never defined except for clarifying that it should not include a timetable for withdrawal). Price is moving toward the position of his constituency, but he is still not there.

Objection to H.J. 55

Furthermore, Representative Price said that he does not support  H.J. Res. 55 “Requiring the President to develop and implement a plan for the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces from Iraq, and other purposes.”  Representative Price’s issue with the resolution is the requirement to implement the policy that states: “establishing a plan for the withdrawal of all United States Armed Forces from Iraq limited only by steps to ensure the safety of such Armed Forces.”  He objects, as if we were a benevolent force in Iraq to start with  --in other words if we don’t state “safety of Iraqis” than the resolution is weak! Did I misunderstand this?

October 25, 2005
Representatives Price and Miller introduce bill H.R. 70 to end the war in Iraq and bring our troops home.

The bill would require the President to submit to Congress a plan for the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces from Iraq, and for other purposes.

Difference between H.J. Res. 55 and Price's H.R. 70
H.J. Res. 55 is explicit in implementation of the plan submitted to congress. H.J. 70 only asks for a plan.
