Democratic leaders in Congress are slowly backing down from a standoff with the White House over tying war funding to a troop-withdrawal timetable, saying they can use other bills to confront President Bush on Iraq.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, is courting Republican support for compromise war-funding legislation to follow Mr. Bush's promised veto this week of a $124 billion bill that would start a pullout as soon as July.

Senior Democratic aides say that although House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not similarly talking to Republicans about a post-veto agreement, she privately acknowledges that eventually the "money will get to the troops without timetables."

"Probably a weakening of is what is going to happen," said an aide close to Mrs. Pelosi, California Democrat.

The blood of hundreds of Iraqis is on the hands of Reid and Pelosi.

[Caipirabob]

That our nation should tolerate such open treason is an ominous sign of our future.

[SolidWood]

Iraqi and American blood was spilled by the Dems only for a squalid political stunt.

[Duke Nukum]

What’s to compromise? Issue an apology to the nation and send a clean bill.

[FreedomPoster]

The blood of literally millions from Southeast Asia is on the hands of the Dem Congresses of 1974-74. It doesn't seem to bother them. Their ideological descendants are actually quite proud of that particular episode of Cut’n’Run.

I hope voters remember who those 218 in the House were who voted to betray our troops.

Guys like Nick Lampson and Clint Edwards will be running in conservative districts as 'moderates' hoping that these votes are not remembered.

Because of statements by Democrat leaders and their minons, the terrorists increased attacks on innocent people and or trrops in an effort to increase the bloodsed in hopes of pushing the Democrats to move fastyer and with more resolve.

They view the Democrat Party as the Party of Cowards.

Americans United For Peace or should I say, Traitors United for Defeat, just had a rather nasty commerical on FNC.

Said that Congress was representing a bill before the President today on the anniversary of Mission Accomplished, he is defying the American people by threatening to veto the bill. Said to contact the president.

I hate them.

[Tom Bombadil]

The Dems might as well be pulling the triggers on terrorist weapons.

If this country spoke with one voice in support of the war (i.e. our troops), it would end quickly and with good result. Too bad the Dems want to encourage the enemy to keep fighting so that there will be a bloodbath when we leave.

Harry Reid, shut up and resign.

[myrabach]

Oh gosh... I saw that commercial and it just made me sick. They have no conscience or morality.

[RoadTest]

“The blood of hundreds of Iraqis is on the hands of Reid and Pelosi.”

The sooner those two demons go back to Hell where they came from, the better.

[LZ_Bayonet]

A bit of a Democrat “dilution” mistake in sending the bill to the President today. May 1st can now referenced in the FUTURE as both “End of Major Combat Day” and “The Day the Democrats Surrendered”.

They Finally Begin to Realize Their Folly

You, sir, are an unmitigated optimist.

I think they do not recognize their folly, but instead the writing on the wall.

[Izzy Dunne]

The blood of hundreds of Iraqis is on the hands of Reid and Pelosi.

That is true, but they are not the only ones.

They are only "leading" by virtue of hurrying to the front of the parade.

The fault lies deeper, I'm afraid.

[SMARTY]

“Still, Mr. Reid took to the Senate floor yesterday and implored Mr. Bush to sign the bill that is scheduled to reach the White House today, citing unyielding bloodshed in Iraq.”

“bloodshed”...and the U.S. departure from Iraq will change this how????

[Bulldawg Fan]

Maybe they learned their tactics from that other leading Democrat, Mike Nifong. Push forward with your agenda regardless of who it harms, or kills in this case. Make political hay from whoever happens to be in the way, say anything that furthers your goals whether it is true or not and never worry about the consequences.

[LibLieSlayer]

They rejoice in the reality of innocent death. They giggle when an American is killed... they foam at the mouth like rabid dogs when imanutjob agrees with them! reid, peloser and the commie party are evil liars and sycophants of satan.
