Next week, the Senate Appropriations Committee will write its version of the war-spending bill
Thu Mar 15, 2007 5:14pm ET15

"Next week, the Senate Appropriations Committee will write its version of the war-spending bill and it was not yet clear what conditions the panel might impose on the money. But Chairman Robert Byrd, a West Virginia Democrat, said on Wednesday, "The Congress of the United States will not support an unaccountable, open-ended war in Iraq."

2. This is the crux of our strategy
after this, pressure and impeachment.

Although, I do think it will be hard for Bush and his republicans to reject a funding bill.
