Ms. Pelosi said a veto would suggest to Iraqi leaders that the United States was not serious about making them more responsible for policing their own country. [...] “With his veto threat,” she said in a statement, “the president offers only an open-ended commitment to a war without end that dangerously ignores the repeated warnings of military leaders, including the commander in Iraq, General Petraeus, who declared in Baghdad this week that the conflict cannot be resolved militarily.”[...]Traveling in Latin America, Mr. Bush sent the speaker a request Saturday to adjust the administration’s spending proposal by shifting $3.2 billion from “lower priority” programs to pay for about 4,400 troops to bolster the 21,500 increase already sought for Iraq.
Incidentally, those 4,400 troops were requested by, uh, Petraeus. But never mind, Nancy.

During the preliminary 4-star generalship meeting, Petraeus told those politico idiots that he would tell D.C., straight up, what he would need to get the job done. They all gave him squinted eyes and nods of assurance.
...and now they are telling Bush no go. How's that sick Dem Senator doing up there, MFT?
