Congressional Democratic leaders are moving to make their proposed timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq "advisory" as they seek to reconcile two versions of war spending legislation into a single bill that they plan to pass next week, according to several House members.

Looks like the rats are starting to cave. When Bush digs in they crumble. Give it another week and the time table will be gone.

I hope Bush is going to still veto ... if they keep the PORK in the bill. That would be a great way to alter the debate and diatribe about corruption in Washington.

If the dems aren’t keeping in the unacceptable “teeth”, then there is no reason to bribe for votes with the pork. Therefore, there is no need for the pork once they remove the time limitation.

Translation: We Democrats fund the war, but we REALLY REALLY REALLY suggest for an American SURRENDER by March 2008.

They can tell their own moonbats that they possibly, sorta, maybe, did something.

Its time to pull out

If there is non-manditory date of surrender and pork then President Bush is probably going to have to sign just to get the money.

Couldn’t Congress simply say that, if the benchmarks aren’t met, they won’t fund next year’s supplemental? Their nut roots have dragged them into a battle that didn’t have to be fought now.

You’re absolutly correct! There’s no way America can win this war. We’re Doomed Doomed DOOMED.

I agree lets pull out and REDEPLOY TO IRAN. We ALL know including yourself where the real problem is coming from, and it’s NOT Okinawa. Lets take over their oil fields first, secure the Straight of Hormuz and simultaneously notify China to quit playing around with their exchange rate or they might not get their next shipment of oil. I’m not sure if this action will create too much World Peace for the United States to accept.

No retreat, no surrender.

CONgre$$ is NOT the Commander-in-Chief and should not be given an inch.

True, but good luck getting them to agree to remove any of the pork from the bill.

And still their straight-ticket voter base (including the dead) continues to support their "anti-war" position.
