WASHINGTON (AP) - Speaker Nancy Pelosi says the House will vote as early as Friday on legislation that would pay $50 billion for the war in Iraq but require that President Bush start bringing troops home.
The money is about a quarter of the $196 billion requested by Bush. It would finance about four months of combat in Iraq, Pelosi told reporters on Thursday.
“There will be no blank check for the president,” she said at a Capitol Hill news conference.
The bill would set the requirement that troop withdrawals begin immediately.

Isn't the definition of insanity: to do the same thing over and over again, and to think that this time the outcome will be different?

The democrat party continues as the party of defeat. losing is their stock in trade. They pick up a majority in both houses of Congress and are still impotent. Breathe in the defeat Nancy. Embrace it. Love it.

Look on the bright side, Nancy, it would be much more of a person rebuke if the Democrats had to fire you as speaker at the beginning of the next Congress. After the Republicans win a majority next November, you will be spared that indignity.
