FROM THE WASHINGTON POST
Liberal opposition to a $124 billion war spending bill broke last night, when leaders of the antiwar Out of Iraq Caucus pledged to Democratic leaders that they will not block the measure, which sets timelines for bringing U.S. troops home.
The acquiescence of the liberals probably means that the House will pass a binding measure today that, for the first time, would establish tough readiness standards for the deployment of combat forces and an Aug. 31, 2008, deadline for their removal from Iraq.

THIS WILL BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
I don't feel like discussing it at the moment, but there are some issues involved that will be battered back and forth among the "players."
The country still is uncertain on how to handle Iraq.
That's the absolute truth.
We are experiencing a war that is longer than WWll....
That's the absolute truth.
In a very short period of time the war in Iraq will be longer than the Civil War
That's the absolute truth.
