"Flinching in the face of a veto threat, Democratic congressional leaders
neared agreement with the Bush administration Tuesday on legislation to pay for
the Iraq war without setting a timeline for troop withdrawal.
Several
officials said the emerging compromise bill would cost about $120 billion,
including as much as $8 billion for Democratic domestic priorities such as
disaster relief for Hurricane Katrina victims and farmers hurt by
drought."
I think this is a smart move for the Democrats. Get the troops the money they need, then we can debate the war and the action that needs to be taken regarding it. I don't honestly think that President Bush wants this war to go on longer than it needs to. I don't think that anyone in the White House or the Republican party or its supporters like that our troops are being killed in Iraq. It isn't a debate over and endless war versus cut and run. I don't think either are real options, so lets talk about real options.
