The author offers opinions on the battle between U.S. President George W. Bush and the Democratic majorities in both houses of the U.S. Congress over the terms of an emergency spending bill for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Public opinion polls favoring an end to the U.S. presence in Iraq are cited. The leadership of U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Majority Leader Harry Reid is praised. The two leaders are urged to stand firm against President Bush.
