... 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.
- THEY ARE AIDING THE ENEMY. AL QAEDA'S ONLY HOPE.
- THEY ARE SCUM. THIS IS WHAT THEY DID TO SOUTH VIETNAM. AND GIVEN THE CHANCE, THEY'LL DO IT TO AFGHANISTAN AND ISRAEL. (YUP: ISRAEL: HOME OF THE NEOCON-LIKUDNIK ISRAEL LOBBY WHICH CONTROLS CHENEY. AND WE ALL KNOW CHENEY CONTROLS W. ACCORDING TO THE LEFT. WHICH CONTROLS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.)
- THESE DEMOCRATS ARE TRAITOROUS SCUM.
