CONGRESSIONAL DEFEATOCRATS VOW TO KEEP TRYING TO SURRENDER IN IRAQ UNTIL... UNTIL... WELL, UNTIL BUSH WINS
IDIOTS:
... after meeting with Democratic leaders — including Representative David R. Obey of Wisconsin, the Appropriations Committee Chairman, Representative Ike Skelton of Missouri, the Armed Services Committee chairman, and Representative John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, the chairman of a subcommittee on military spending — Ms. Pelosi decided it was time to push for another showdown over the war, even if it meant certain defeat in the Senate. The Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, agreed.

Aides said that Mr. Skelton and Mr. Murtha, in particular, were eager to start the battle over war spending now rather than in the winter, when money for the troops would be running low, and to start making the case that the Bush White House, which pledged last week to veto the Democrats’ plan, had refused the $50 billion.

The Pentagon, though, pushing back, has already said that uncertainty over the financing is complicating the war effort.
