The controversial Democratic House strategy for pushing the Iraq War Supplemental through the House and into the Senate has failed for now [1], partly owing to Republican protest but also a “revolt” of Blue-Dog Democrats, more moderate Democrats who opposed the strategy and some of the extra funding proposals. Sounds like we shouldn’t expect action on this until mid-month. I think this is a good thing – time to lay out more options to compromise and get a more bi-partisan consensus on how to move forward.
Well, one can dream.
