Rice, Gates meet with Bush today to discuss Iraq plan

The meeting with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert Gates comes amid increasingly heated debate over the plan. The Democratic Congress is moving toward a vote of no-confidence in it.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi yesterday accused Bush of rushing troops into the battle zone, saying he's betting Congress won't cut off funds once troops are deployed.

The White House angrily denies that, calling Pelosi's words "poisonous."

Meantime, Bush continues preparing next Tuesday's State of the Union speech. Aides say it won't be a "do-over" of his prime-time Iraq address and that Bush will also talk about health care, energy and immigration.

IS IT TIME WE NATIONALIZE OUR OIL INDUSTRY? WOULD THIS STOP SOME OF THE WARS WE ARE INVOLVED IN?
I MEAN SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE WE LOSE OUR COUNTRY!

2. I wish we could equip flys-on-the-wall with

recording equipment.

B*sh, Rice & Gates, sitting glumly in chairs staring at each other balefully.. Rove in the corner:
"You said this would work" "I just said it was worth a shot" "Now what?" "I dunno. . . Karl?"
