Democratic leaders agree to meet with Bush at White House

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi say they've agreed to meet with President Bush next week at the White House to discuss the Iraq war. But the two Democratic leaders insist the meeting will be a two-way discussion.

4. Two-way discussion will only involve Reid and Pelosi
Bush only listens to that GAWD inside his head.

2. They need to make it clear that it's the VETO that cuts off funding,
not the bill.

Yeah, I know it's obvious, but still....
Beat them at their own game.

I envision Nancy in a dominatrix cat suit and Reid carrying her 'tools' to beat George into submission. One has to be firm with your 'enemas':spank: Did I say that out loud. :blush:
