Democratas fazem vida negra a Bush

"Congressional Democrats agreed Monday to ignore President Bush's veto threat and send him a $124 billion war spending bill that orders the administration to begin pulling troops out of Iraq by October 1," The New York Times reports. "The House and Senate are to vote on the agreement and send it to the White House by the end of the week, and Democrats expressed confidence that they could secure narrow approval. But even as they ironed out differences between House and Senate approaches to Iraq policy and cut some spending that has drawn Republican scorn, Democrats acknowledged that the bill would be rejected by the president."
