Democrats Plan to Cave On Iraq Funding...Again.

Democrats Considering Caving On Iraq War Funding

"Congressional leaders are assembling a $500 billion package to try to resolve an impasse by providing President Bush with unfettered money for the Iraq war in exchange for new spending on popular domestic programs.

If acceptable to lawmakers and the White House, the package to be considered in the House as early as Tuesday would avert the threat of a shutdown of federal agencies and end a dispute that has lasted months and pitted Congressional Democrats against Mr. Bush and his Republican allies."

You can all agree that 'obscene' images deserve your immediate attention, but when it comes to the seriously important things that, like the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq, you can't bend over fast enough. :grr:
