Editors: This refers to WAR-POST (Weisman, Murray, Post), which moved Wednesday
(c) 2007, The Washington Post WASHINGTON — A Washington Post article about negotiations between President Bush and congressional Democrats over a war spending bill said the Democrats offered the first major concession by dropping their demand that it include a deadline to bring troops home from Iraq. While Democrats are no longer pushing a firm date for troop withdrawals, party leaders did not specifically make that concession during a Wednesday meeting with Bush at the White House.

1. This of course would end up on |
|
PAGE 30 in the paper.. up to their old tricks again.. this is the trick they used to push Bush all these years, and they'd sort of dropped the ball on this one..
Make a Claim, Publish it on the first page, retract it on the last page, a week later..
Usually it was FOR Bush, now they're using it against the dems.

I thought I heard on CNN that the "Democrats have blinked" and tried, unsuccessfully, to find something that alluded to the CNN 'talking points' about the Dems giving bush exactly what he wants but could not. Thank you!
