The War *Over* Iraq
President Bush came out today threatening to veto any spending bill that has withdrawal connected to it, then turns around and tries to offer an olive branch in the name of compromise.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi aren't having it. Reid even invokes the Pope, who has all but called for the US to leave.
Eventually, one side of this struggle will get their way. Will it be Bush, who wants to conduct the war as sees fit with no interference, or Congress, who says that they are co-equal and want their considerations (which includes everything from fully supplying troops to redeployment to withdrawal) to be heard and weighted?
