President Bush is getting his war funding bill without any timeline for troop withdrawal. The compromise deal is a bitter pill for those who want the U.S. out of Iraq within the next year! This happened within the past hour. $120 billion dollar funding bill passed the house and the senate. There are not timelines for withdrawing troops in this bill, but there are bench marks. The catch is the president can waive them, and this was a big win for the president.
