Leadership looking for a new new direction in Iraq:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) leadership team has charged a band of mostly centrist members with recommending a House Iraq strategy, pushing for the lower chamber to be the source of bipartisan action on the war.
Can I make the same suggestion that I made back in February?
Demand that the President submit a plan to pay for the war - all of it to date - and NO 'gas tax'? Better he do it than the next executive, right; or the next, or the next, or the next?
Have someone subpoena the Administration and find out what the 'policymakers' knew about the war's costs and when they knew it.
I like the 'Webb amendment' ideas, but I'm concerned that they aren't getting the proper 'spin' and 'volume' from the Democratic 'machine'. How is it that the GOP get their 'talking points' done so well, but the Dems are still all over the map.
