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.

The bill would set the requirement that troop withdrawals begin immediately.

Another sign that we are winning on Iraq. Pelosi and Co are trying to find a way to withhold funds from our troops. She’s disgusting.

On a brighter note...here’s another sign that we are winning;

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.

She knows it's not going to become law. It's a bone tossed to that part of their base angry that the Democrats haven't done enough to end the war.
