If the polls are going your way MM - why are Dems caving?
The president said Friday his veto will be sustained, and no Democrat has stepped forward to challenge his prediction.
Bush also has invited the leaders of both parties to the White House on Wednesday. And he said that once he casts his veto he'll be ready to work with Democrats on a new version that provides funds without strings attached.
Bush is "willing to work with the Democrats on benchmarks," the House Republican leader, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, told reporters last week.
Barring a change in plans, Democrats have signaled they intend to jettison the timeline from the follow-up bill they draft. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and others insist they will not send the president a blank check to prosecute a war that so far has claimed the lives of more than 3,300 U.S. troops
