I hadn't seen this posted — but perhaps the Hillary posts have obscured it?

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will vote as early as Friday on legislation that would spend $50 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan 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.

"This is not a blank check for the president," she said at a Capitol Hill news conference.

"This is providing funding for the troops limited to a particular purpose, for a short time frame," she added

1. Wohoo!

2. Pelosi then forced herself to apologize,

and assured * that he would receive $300 billion instead.

3. And no withdrawal time tables

So, they'll pass this. Zippy will veto it and, instead of letting his veto stand or better yet, pass a bill with even less money, they'll pass a bill giving the Turd-in-Chief everything he wants.

5. Why don't we wait and see? I, for one, would like to be surprised. NT

6. And so would I - here's hoping that it will happen.

But after being kicked in the head over and over, you kind of get cynical.

I admire your continued optimism, however.

7. Well, sometimes you have to be optimistic just to keep going.

:hi:

8. Thanks. I need a bit of encouraging political news. I hope that this will have some

teeth behind it?
