#1 Liberal Democrats who reluctantly have backed House leaders on the Iraq spending bill may defect due to the leaderships decision to eliminate any timeline for withdrawal from the legislation.

Well the Commies are gone in Russia, so I guess it'll have to be Cuba or Venezuela. They've got nicer beaches then China or North Korea.
Have a nice trip...

#2 The Iranians agree with the Dems. This from a Foreign Ministry Iranian
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini emphasized the need for the US to present a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq.

Hosseini made the remarks in an interview with Austrian daily `Der Standard' on upcoming talks at ambassadorial level between Iran and the US on Iraq security, slated to be held on June 28.

Asked about Iran's expectations from Iran-US talks on Baghdad, he said, "We will hold the meeting because we regard ourselves as duty-bound to remind the occupying forces of the necessity to correct their performance.

"Occupiers of Iraq should know that the time is ripe for them to give more power to the Iraqi people and leave them free to determine their own fate."
