WASHINGTON (AP) -- As a Senate committee begins considering a nonbinding resolution disapproving of President Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq, Senator Russ Feingold calls the proposal too weak.

Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat, says today he will soon introduce legislation to cut off funding for the war. He was speaking at a meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in Washington.

Feingold blasted his colleagues for not doing enough to stand up to the White House. He said they've been intimidated.

That drew a response from the committee chairman, Delaware Democrat Joseph Biden, who said he's never been intimidated by President Bush.
