The so called pork in this bill is for traumatic brain injury study and for fixing up walter reed. All thing that will benefit our Soldiers. No vendetta just plain ole common sense. you keep doing the samr thing over and over and over again you will get the same results!

[bigdadpatrio]

The Democrats are delusional. They do not have, nor ever will have the votes to override the Presidential veto that will come. They (Dems) are
so power drunk because of the last elections that they are continuing to do things that are/will be bad for our country, all under this guise of a perceived mandate. They need to go ahead and remove all of the "pork" and the time restrictions from this bill and fund our troops. They can then work on their vendettas later.

[irishbitch1]

If he vetoes the bill cut him off at the knees and cut funding completely! It is what the majority of "WE THE PEOPLE" want and voted for last November!

I get a charge out of this the world is going to the dogs and people still talk about fighting. That is like pouring gasoline on a fire to try to put it out.

ABC News has learned, however, that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., will not attend the briefing.

"She can't make the briefing tomorrow," a Democratic aide told ABC News Tuesday evening. "But she spoke with the general via phone today at some length."

A Pelosi aide said the speaker on Tuesday requested a one-on-one meeting with Petraeus but that could not be worked out. He said their phone conversation lasted 30 minutes.

Last week, House Democratic leaders were criticized by their Republican counterparts when they initially declined an invitation from Petraeus to brief House members on the status of the war due to "scheduling conflicts," as first reported by Roll Call.

House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, called the decision "irresponsible" and said it constituted a "dereliction of duty." But by the end of the day, Pelosi's office changed course and scheduled a briefing for members of the House for Wednesday, April 25.

You dems keep shooting yourselves in the head!! LOL

[infidel_us]

if any knows about "pulling out," it would have to be the dems.

[neoconrcrazy]

Bushit - sign the veto and with it your guaranteed incapacity to act any more a President of this Great America !

Sign it and get it over with you lying, silver-spoon fed, neocon murderer - no one has any respect for a dishonorable lying pile of sheet like you.

Now on CSPAN3 Oversight committee is going after Rice on missuse use of intelligence .

Republicans are insisting on no oversight for her mistakes on missleading our Nation into war.

Rudy Giuliani said if a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001.

But if a Republican is elected, he said, especially if it is him, terrorist attacks can be anticipated and stopped.

%u201CIf any Republican is elected president %u2014 and I think obviously I would be the best at this %u2014 we will remain on offense and will anticipate what [the terrorists] will do and try to stop them before they do it,%u201D Giuliani said.

this is a shame and degrace to our country..

This just in, Monica Goodling is being offered immunity to testify. Hope they remember to have a caveat--the immunity will be revoked if she is found to have lied or hid informationduring her testimony--otherwise her loyalty to the neo-cons may mean Conyers has just given her immunity to lie and based on her behavior prior to this--Ms "supposed to be saved and a Christian" can certainly lie with the best of them.

Why is CBS so slow in getting the latest news uploaded?

"For the first time, the president will have to be accountable for this war in Iraq," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Tuesday. "And he does not want to face that reality."

There are a lot of realities the President and his followers don't want to face about Iraq.

The reality that invading and ocupying Iraq on a pack of lies has increased terror around the world.

The reality that Bu$hco allowed, through it's incompetence, Iraq to spiral into a CIVIL WAR.

The reality that there is no military solution to the problems in Iraq.

The reality that this whole debacle is the single biggest mistake in U.S. history.
