WASHINGTON — With a veto fight looming, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that
President Bush is in a state of denial over Iraq, "and the new Congress will show him the way" to a change in war policy.Reid, D-Nev., said the
Democratic-controlled House and Senate will soon pass a war funding bill that includes "a fair and reasonable timetable" for the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops. In a speech prepared for delivery, he challenged Bush to present an alternative if, as expected, he vetoes the measure.

Reid noted disapprovingly that in a speech last week, Bush repeatedly said there were signs of progress in Iraq in the wake of a troop increase he ordered last winter.
"The White House transcript says the president made those remarks in the state of Michigan.
I believe he made them in the state of denial," said Reid.more at:
