Pelosi: 'We will not cut off funding' for Iraq
WASHINGTON - Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a message Tuesday
for voters who elected a Democratic Congress last month hoping it
would force President Bush to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq.
“We will not cut off funding for the troops,” Pelosi said. “Absolutely
not,” she said.
A reporter had asked Pelosi if the new Democratic-controlled Congress
would vote to end the funding of the war if Democrats were unable to
persuade President Bush to change his Iraq strategy.
“Let me remove all doubt in anyone’s mind; as long as our troops are
in harm’s way, Democrats will be there to support them, but… we will
have oversight over that funding,” she said.
She spoke to reporters as she took a break from a briefing Democratic
House members were getting from former Clinton administration official
Richard Holbrooke and other foreign policy veterans.
“None of us want to fail; none of us want to see Iraq as a failure,”
said incoming Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland.
A political risk for 2008?
Is there a danger that Pelosi and Hoyer will disappoint voters who’ve
just elected the new Congress, expecting it would take steps to end
the war?
Yes — there’s a big danger, said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D- Ohio and
other Democrats who oppose the war.
Kucinich said the Democrats have only one way to end the war: vote
against the $130 billion Iraq war supplemental spending bill that will
be on the House floor in the spring.
“We vote it down,” Kucinich said, and Bush would be forced to end the
war.
He indicated that he didn’t yet have the votes he’d need to defeat the
spending bill, but “this is a work in progress.” The decision on the
spending bill “absolutely is going to be the key vote,” Kucinich said.
