    House passes spending bill with Iraq deadline

    The House of Representatives on Friday voted 218-212 to approve an emergency $124 billion supplemental war spending bill that includes a firm deadline -- August 31, 2008 -- for combat troops to leave Iraq.

    More than an hour after the vote, President Bush said that "a narrow majority in the House" had abdicated its responsibility to protect the troops, denouncing the vote as "political theater."

    Bush said the vote had only one outcome: "It delays the delivery of vital resources for our troops."

    They're voting for the defeat of out troops in the field. Hope the American sheeple are happy with their votes last November. They're getting what they wanted. Hope their happy with the results that will come later.

    Wow. The Dems are doing their damndest to make Iraq another Vietnam, aren't they? When the 1,000,000+ people in the region die as a result of us leaving, Will Nancy and Harry take responsibility for it? Doubt it.

    Bush better veto it, and toss it back to those bastards. Playing politics is one thing, playing with our soldier's lives is quite another.

    Thumby, your sig pic describes their actions perfectly.

    Their complicity with our enemies has no bounds. They are going to be responsible for many lost lives and they absolutely could not care less. And they are claiming publicly that this is just what the American public want and demand. After last Novembers election, maybe they're right. The dimwittocRATS didn't hide their cut and run policy nor their hatred for our military folks, it was all there to see before the election.

    I'm thinking...maybe now the Iraqi's will get their sh*t together before the deadline. I don't know. I want our troops supplied to the teeth just like ya'll are, but damn gina.. time for the Iraqi's, the everyday Iraqi's to step to the plate and take control. Time to pressure them , not our troops.

    He's right. That's the exact message the dimwittocRATS wanted to send and they claim the American people wanted that done. Based on Novembers election I guess that's right.

    The Senate is taking up the Iraq Spending Bill

    C-Span2

    Sen. KKK Byrd is up first..........
    PRESIDENT OBAMA: We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.
