Senate votes today suggest a stalemate in Iraq funding

There does not seem to be any consensus available

Pull out Deadline will not fly
Benchmarks with Teeth will not fly
Full funding with no Benchmark will not fly.

Most likely out come will be benchmarks with teeth but only settled in conference. Bsh is going to have no choice but to sign it.

anything that is not what HE alone wants (more dead troops). As long as a few idiot Dem's join all the idiot Repugs, we are "screwn". It just astounds me.... me, the people? we?
