From Raw story:
In a rare show of defiance, a large group of mostly House Democrats sent a letter to the White House saying that they will not support any military funding for Iraq unless it includes a complete withdrawal of combat troops, reports Politico's "The Crypt" blog.
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was the only Republican to sign the letter.
"This is a big development," writes Josephine Hearn. "Earlier this year, liberals grudgingly voted for Iraq funding bills because they didn't want to give Nancy Pelosi a defeat. Now it seems that their patience has run out."
It appears that the the showdown between Congress and President Bush is scheduled for September at the next funding bill vote.
