At least Diana DeGette gets it....
“I remain committed to ending the war in Iraq, and will stand by my pledge to oppose any measure that provides funds to continue the war. It is unfortunate that President Bush would hold a bill funding the government hostage by threatening a veto if it lacked funds for his failed war in Iraq.”
"It is shameful that Senate Republicans would vote in lock-step with the President over this issue despite overwhelming public opinion against this war. I am proud to stand up against the President’s misguided war in Iraq. We need to end this war quickly and safety and bring our troops .”
Today's list of casualties: 3,584
