WASHINGTON - In grudging concessions to President Bush, Democrats intend to draft an Iraq war-funding bill without a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and shorn of billions of dollars in spending on domestic programs, officials said Monday.The Kos Kidz are none too happy. Just a sample reaction, and this is tame:
The legislation would include the first federal minimum wage increase in more than a decade, a top priority for the Democrats who took control of Congress in January, the officials added.
While details remain subject to change, the measure is designed to close the books by Friday on a bruising veto fight between Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress over the war. It would provide funds for military operations in Iraq through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.
Dammit! (0 / 0)In a rare interview, Iraqi Ambassador Feisal Amin al-Istrabadi warns of dire circumstances if we cut and run.
Weak-kneed, lily-livered, candy-assed, pansies afraid of the big bad Bush Boogy-Man?
Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way, Congress-critters.
America is tired of BushCo's Vanity War/Occupation of Iraq. We want it stopped.
