especially when he denies the war in Iraq hasn't turned around for the
better. But than again this military loathing traitor is spoon fed every
scripted speech he makes by move on.

Democratic leaders on Thursday warned the Iraqi government was locked in a
stalemate, as they jockeyed for position ahead of another Senate showdown
over Iraq war funding.
They also threatened Republicans with a rare weekend vote, after the start
of the scheduled break for the Thanksgiving holiday, on a bill including
troop withdrawal dates which cleared the House of Representatives
Wednesday.

"Every place you go you hear about no progress being made in Iraq," said
Senate Democratic majority leader Harry Reid.

"The government is stalemated today, as it was six months ago, as it was
two years ago," Reid told reporters, warning US soldiers were caught in
the middle of a civil war.

"It is not getting better, it is getting worse," he said.

Democrats are using perceived lack of reconciliation and political
development by the Iraqi government to refute claims by Republicans that
President George W. Bush's troop surge strategy has yielded concrete
results.

The Senate was expected to start work on the 50 billion dollar emergency
war funding bill by Friday, though the measure is considered dead on
arrival due to Republican opposition.

President George W. Bush, who has repeatedly outmuscled Democrats
attempting to tie his hands on the war, has threatened to veto the measure
in the unlikely event it reaches his desk.

The emergency budget provides only four months of funding for the war, and
only a 50 billion dollar chunk of the 196 billion dollars requested by
Bush.

It calls for troop withdrawals to begin within 30 days and sets a goal of
December 15, 2008, for the pullback of most combat troops to be completed,
and outlaws the use of torture by US government agencies.

Should the bill, as expected, fail to pass, Democrats say they will not
give Bush any more money this year for the war. That would force the
Pentagon to dip into its regular budget to pay for operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan.

"The days are over when the money is sent no questions asked,, when the
money is sent without a price," Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer said
