Democrats drop insistence on Iraq withdrawal timeline: The major concession to the president on the war spending bill comes as leaders in Congress cannot muster veto-proof majorities. (Noam N. Levey, May 22, 2007, LA Times)
Scrambling to send President Bush an emergency war spending bill he will sign, Democratic leaders have decided to drop their insistence on a timeline for withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq.The move — which comes just days after senior Democrats insisted that White House officials should support nonbinding timelines — is a significant concession to the president and his Republican allies on Capitol Hill, who have steadfastly rejected any dates for bringing U.S. troops home.
Other than that how did you enjoy the canoe trip, Mr. Reid? Posted by Orrin Judd at May 22, 2007 10:47 AM
Boy, you can drop the image of Bush making Reid squeal like a pig any time. Yeesh, I just ate lunch, you know.

He didn't make Reid squeal, just kept my nephew there another 2 months.
