House Democratic leadership appears to be embracing an Iraq bill put together by David Obey and John Murtha. There's no doubt in my mind we'll be debating this bill furiously for as long as it's on the table, but an introduction: The bill would provide funding into July, at which point a vote on withdrawal would be held.
The White House has not yet used the word "veto" in addressing the bill, though as you may imagine they're hardly embracing it.
Rep Boehner is wrong though....the men and women in uniform don't need looked upon as children. It's really the rubber-stamp Republicans that ruined, or spoiled President Bush. High time someone stepped in and set some limits on that...but I still have doubt on how much oversight this Congress will accomplish....because Bush will veto any such legislation, and Dem majorities aren't strong enough to override the veto. :\
