Dems set war bill without Iraq timeline

I told you so, and thank God. From Yahoo/AP:

In grudging concessions to President Bush, Democrats intend to
draft an Iraq war-funding bill without a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S.
troops and shorn of billions of dollars in spending on domestic programs,
officials said Monday...While details remain subject to change, the measure is
designed to close the books by Friday on a bruising veto fight between Bush and
the Democratic-controlled Congress over the war. It would provide funds for
military operations in Iraq through Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.

September is the date general Petraeus believes the Surge will start to show results (though some say it already has). This is why I declare the War is Won. The article goes on to try to convince the Liberal base that this isn't giving in to President Bush. Whatever you want to call it is fine, just get the job done and bring our troops home victorious!

Also, Instapundit declares "Sounds like Bush won."

Plus, Captain's Quarters reveals:

"They have been outmaneuvered for the moment by George Bush,
who has hung on them their inability to fund the troops more than a hundred days
after the request. The supposedly irrelevant lame duck has outlasted his
opponents, who now nervously realize that they have to do something to fund the
troops that Bush will actually sign."

The Right should be dancing in the streets over this, or are we too busy fuming over immigration?
