I like the Big headline on CNN right now
The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to require President Bush to pull U.S. combat troops out of Iraq by fall 2008, despite a White House veto threat.

God, I like that! There is hope! My heart is beginning to slow down to normal range, "PHEW!"

2. Yeah, and if Bush vetoes it...
he'll cut funding to the troops.

4. Forces Bush* to own the blame for 4+ years of no responsibility!
And it makes this administration and the military be accountable, finally.

9. I checked their website (I'm at work - no TV) and they're
reporting it fairly straight-forwardly there - however they make note that President Chucknuts will address the issue live at 1:45 p.m.

12. 1:45 pm
Interesting that at least in my time zone, thousands of people will be returning from their lunch hours. Most of the hotel/motels, gas stations, and general service business that have TVs for their customers are all tuned to Faux. The last thing they'll see before returning to the office is the petulant boy king.

14. the Best part of this crappy bill
CNN seems to be running with that headline as if the public is going to flip out over pulling out troops but pulling out troops is what the public wants not the stupid GOP talking points
