Masters of war

Both the House and the Senate have now passed resolutions calling for an end to the war, or, more precisely, an end to our involvement in Iraq's civil war.

President Bush has strongly protested the withdrawal language in both the House and Senate bills, along with $20 billion in emergency domestic spending in the Senate measure, and has repeatedly warned that he intends to veto the package if the offending provisions aren't dropped.

He reiterated the threat this morning. "We expect there to be no strings on our commanders, and that we expect the Congress to be wise about how they spend the people's money," Bush said after meeting with House Republicans at the White House.

"No strings" has been the rule for four years. That has to stop.
