Dems catching on

Pelosi: Bush lacks power to invade Iran.

Bush has asked Congress to approve $100 billion for the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan.' Congressional Democrats are hoping to insert provisions that
would make it harder for the administration to follow through on its plan to
deploy an additional 21,500 combat troops to Iraq.
Murtha also said the measure may be changed to prohibit any military action
against Iran without specific congressional approval.
Asked about Murtha's
remarks, Pelosi said, "I fully support that." She added that she would propose
it as stand-alone legislation if it is not included in the bill that provides
more money for the Iraq war.
