House Passes $50B Iraq Withdrawal Bill
House Democrats pushed through a $50 billion bill for the Iraq war
Wednesday night that would require President Bush to start bringing troops home
in coming weeks with a goal of ending combat by December 2008.
The legislation, passed 218-203, was largely a symbolic jab at
Bush, who already has begun reducing force levels but opposes a congressionally
mandated timetable on the war. And while the measure was unlikely to pass in the
Senate — let alone overcome a presidential veto — Democrats said they wanted
voters to know they weren't giving up.
"The fact is, we can no longer sustain the military deployment in
Iraq," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. "Staying there in the manner
that we are there is no longer an option."
Four (4) republicans joined with Pelosi and her merry band of Murthas to once again (again and again and again) put our troops in danger by enabling the enemy and wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to mollify morons like the little corporal Kos and the I was a liberal before I was a conservative (but I'll take the money and run) Huffington.

I wrote before that Reid and Pelosi probably couldn't sink any lower, but once again they prove me wrong.
