U.S. Congress set to defy Bush on Iraq war Sun Apr 22, 2007 8:31AM EDT By Richard Cowan WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) - A fight between the U.S. Congress and President George W. Bush over the Iraq war is set to come to a head this week when Democrats are expected to send him $100 billion to pay for continuing combat while setting timetables for withdrawing troops. Bush has promised to veto any bill setting dates for removing U.S. combat soldiers from the Iraq war, now in its fifth year. But when a Democratic-controlled panel of Senate and House of Representatives members meets on Monday to iron out differences between their respective bills, the product is expected to contain 2008 withdrawal dates. Many lawmakers have been speculating those dates might be nonbinding, as sketched out by a Senate-passed bill. "The longer we continue down the president's path, the further we will be from responsibly ending this war," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who on Thursday said the war in Iraq was "lost." The Nevada Democrat, who called for a change of course in Iraq, made his remarks during a week in which he and Bush traded barbs and as violence and killings in Iraq again spiked. Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, who holds a Democratic leadership position in the House, said final touches on the Iraq war language ought to be finished by this weekend. That will be the basis for Monday's work session on the bill. Continued reuters.com
