Reprogramming Bush

Congress plans to force Bush to look at Iraq in the light of day. Force him to see the mess he has created. And even if Bush veto's the bill, as promised, the voice of the American People is finally being reflected in legislation presented to the President. This is what Congress is supposed to do! Not just be a rubber stamp for the President's every whim. If we'd had a responsible Congress this entire time we may not be in the trouble we're in right now.

Shove this bill down his throat! We demand it!

A fight between the U.S. Congress and President Bush over the Iraq war is set to come to a head this week when Democrats are expected to send him $100 billion to pay for continuing combat while setting timetables for withdrawing troops.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, who holds a Democratic leadership position in the House, said final touches on the Iraq war language ought to be finished by this weekend. That will be the basis for Monday's work session on the bill.
