House Votes Against Bush's 'Surge', Pelosi Warns the Chimp: Stay Outta' Iran; Steven Changes His Wet Undershorts |
Stay out of Iran, Pelosi warns Bush
By Toby Harnden in Washington
Last Updated: 2:10am GMT 17/02/2007
Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives,
led a two-pronged assault on President George W Bush yesterday, declaring
that he possessed no legal authority to attack Iran and championing a vote
against his Iraq policy.
As the House resolution denouncing the "surge" strategy in the Iraq
war was passed last night, Mrs Pelosi emphasised her belief that the
Democrats, who swept to victory in the November mid-term elections, could
be a powerful check on Mr Bush.
"Congress should assert itself and make it very clear that there is
no previous authority for the president, any president, to go into Iran,"
she said.
Noting Mr Bush's professions of wanting to pursue a diplomatic
solution to the threat posed by Iran's nuclear ambitions, she added: "I
take him at his word."
The House's resolution was voted in by 246 to 182, with 17
Republicans voting for the resolution. While symbolic, it delivered a
politically potent message to Mr Bush, with Mrs Pelosi suggesting it would
"signal a change in direction in Iraq that will end the fighting and bring
our troops home".
The resolution promises that Congress would "continue to support and
protect" American forces but "disapproves of the decision of President
George W Bush... to deploy more than 20,000 additional United States
combat troops to Iraq".
The House now faces a tough fight to get the resolution voted on by
the Senate, where the Republicans will use blocking tactics.
The stage is set for a bitter constitutional clash between Congress
and Mr Bush, raising the vital question of how much discretion America's
commander-in-chief should be allowed on decisions over peace and war.
Debate is also looming on a new requirement that would stop Mr Bush
from sending troops to Iraq until they were certified as "combat-ready".
This would mean soldiers being allowed a year at home before redeployment
in Iraq.
Democrats, stoked by their party's fervently anti-war activists,
want to limit Mr Bush's room for manoeuvre and hamper his Iraq strategy
without cutting off funding for the war - a politically risky move last
employed during the Vietnam war.
Mr Bush, who has aggressively asserted his constitutional powers as
commander-in-chief since the September 11 attacks, has heavily criticised
Democrats for approving the nomination of Gen David Petraeus as commander
of forces in Iraq while trying to frustrate the "surge" plan he helped to
author.
"This may become the first time in the history of the United States
Congress that it has voted to send a new commander into battle, and then
voted to oppose his plan that is necessary to succeed in that battle,"
said Mr Bush.
There were emotional scenes in the Iraq debate. John Boehner, the
Republican minority leader, wept after hearing his party colleague Sam
Johnson, who spent seven years as a Vietnam PoW, recall how his captors
blared "anti-American messages from back home" over loudspeakers in an
attempt to break his spirit. "The enemy wants our men and women in uniform
to think that their Congress doesn't care about them... that they're going
to cut the funding and abandon them and their mission," Mr Johnson said.
Democrats rejected this logic. "The president's plan to send more of
our best and bravest to die refereeing a civil war in Iraq is wrong," said
Rep Patrick Murphy, an Iraq war veteran.
