Good God, this guy's skull must be thicker then anyone in the history of the planet. He's saying that Congress will pass the funding budget with the timeline in place. That part is true, they do have the votes to pass the law. However, the President has threatened to veto the bill because of the timeline and Democrats simply don't have the votes to overturn a Presidential veto.
So instead of taking that out and giving the troops the money that they need, they come out with this laughable quote: "If the president disagrees, let him come to us with an alternative. Instead of sending us back to square one with a veto, some tough talk and nothing more, let him come to the table in the spirit of bipartisanship that Americans demand and deserve."
The President has ALREADY given you an alternative. Pass the budget without the timeline. You insist on putting it in and you don't have the votes to override the veto, so YOU'RE the one who's giving "tough talk and nothing more".
As a side note, Harry Reid isn't very popular with the troops on the ground. This soldier particularly takes issue with Harry stating that the war is "lost". A good read of how things are going on the ground and how the Iraqi civilians really feel about us.
