House Approves Troop-Funding Bill

Update II-President signs War Supplemental.

Update:Yahoo/AP via Michelle Malkin: Senate approves the bill..."The Senate vote to send the legislation to the president was 80-14."

John McCain says:

"Senator Obama and Senator Clinton embrace the policy of surrender
by voting against funds to support our brave men and women fighting in Iraq and
Afghanistan." The vote, he said, "may win favor with MoveOn and liberal primary
voters, but it's the equivalent of waving a white flag to al Qaeda."

Another nail in Al Qaeda's Coffin. From My Way News:

Bowing to President Bush, the Democratic-controlled House
reluctantly approved fresh billions for the Iraq war on Thursday, minus the
troop withdrawal timeline that drew his earlier veto.
The 280-142 vote sent
the bill to the Senate for final passage, expected later in the evening.
"The Iraqi government needs to show real progress in return for America's
continued support and sacrifice," said Bush, and he warned that August could
prove to be a bloody month for U.S. troops in Baghdad's murderous
neighborhoods.

Our brave and brilliant troops, led by the wizened General Petraeus, now get another reprieve to tear down the terrorist element which has laid siege to the new Iraq Democracy, and held hostage the entire Middle East. On to Victory!
